Byrd lambastes Bush in book
By Paul J. Nyden
Staff Writer
Sen. Robert C. Byrd, D-W.Va., will publish a new book next month titled “Losing America: Confronting a Reckless and Arrogant Presidency.”
W.W. Norton & Co. plans to release on July 26 the book in which Byrd argues President George W. Bush “is in a class by himself — ineptitude supreme.”
Kirkus Reviews calls the new volume “an outstanding broadside from a true patriot.”
A promotion from W.W. Norton states, “Swept along, we have entered a war without proper consideration and rushed dangerous legislation through Congress. Now is the time to regain the Constitution, to return to the values and processes that made America great. Byrd does not shrink from speaking the truth to an ever more aggressive and imperial White House.”
A “Publishers Weekly” pre-publication review notes, “Attacks on the Bush presidency have proliferated in recent months, but few critics bring to the argument the weight of Senator Byrd, who has served under 11 presidents. Few combine his scholar’s understanding of constitutional government with the experience gained in his nearly half-century of Senate tenure.”
