Matt Taibbi

Get Your War On: The Definitive Account of the War on Terror, 2001-2008

David Rees

Soft Skull Press, 2008

Best political satire I've ever seen
David Rees never holds back in this profane, bold, hilarious, and very knowledgeable series of comic strips drawn between 2001 and 2008. He skewers everyone and everything, though he focuses mostly on the Bush Administration and its disastrous domestic and foreign ...

The Great Derangement
Matt Taibbi

Bantam Dell Pub Group, 2008

Spanking the Donkey: Dispatches from the Dumb Season

Matt Taibbi

Three Rivers Press, 2006

The most astute observations ever to emerge from a gorilla suit.
There's little I can offer that hasn't been said in other reviews here. But I want to add my voice to those championing Taibbi. Readers not paying attention might mistake his writing for sophomoric rant, but it's actually eloquent. Having read his book I read the ...

50 Reasons Not to Vote for Bush

Robert Sterling, Greg Palast, ...

The Great Derangement: A Terrifying True Story of War, Politics, and Religion at the Twilight of the American ...

Matt Taibbi

Spiegel & Grau, 2008

Not his best, but Taibbi is always enjoyable
Matt Taibbi is in my opinion the most interesting political writer working today. He is a writer's writer, clearly in love with the language (in a very approachable way, don't worry) and quite gifted at turning a phrase. I regularly find myself stopping and rereading ...

Smells Like Dead Elephants: Dispatches from a Rotting Empire

Matt Taibbi

Grove Press, Black Cat, 2007

Do not let this one get by you. BUY IT!
This book is a masterful creation of reality, snark, wit and intellect. Matt shines the light of truth on just how far gone our government is. You can find him on the show Real Time With Bill Maher often. That is how I found out about him and his book. It's so ...

The Exile: Sex, Drugs, and Libel in the New Russia

Mark Ames, Matt Taibbi

Grove Press, 2000

Outstanding Work
This book is a must read for anyone that desires understaning of russian societal mores. Mark Ames particularly does an absolutely wonderful job with his gloomy delivery explaining Moscow sex, drug and media scene throughout the 90s. I must warn you, this is not your ...
