About
From the author of Animal Liberation, an examination of the chasm between the words and actions of George W. Bush, who claimed the moral high ground more than any president in recent US history During his time in public office, George W. Bush framed a striking number of his major policies and initiatives with the concepts of good and evil. From his christening of the "axis of evil" to the wars in the Middle East to his condemnation of stem cell research, Bush consistently deployed moral language in discussions of the day's major issues. But to what degree could his moral philosophy be considered coherent? In The President of Good & Evil, Peter Singer offers an eye-opening analysis of the ethical outlook of America's forty-third president. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Peter Singer, including rare photos from the author's personal collection.

"A chilling and powerful intellectual indictment of an administration desperate to cover up the damage it inflicts."
David Corn, author of The Lies of George W. Bush and Washington bureau chief of Mother Jon
"Peter Singer has ripped the sanctimonious, preachy bark off George W. Bush and exposed it for what it is: greed posing as 'ethics,' duplicity posing as morality, and confused bellicosity as a 'war against evil.' Bravo for Singer!"
Robert Wright, author of Nonzero and The Moral Animal
"Peter Singer speaks softly and carries a big stick. Even Bush supporters will have to admit that, in an age of diatribe, this book elevates the level of political discourse. The more American voters who read it, the better."
Robert Wright, author of Nonzero and The Moral Animal
