Losing America: Confronting a Reckless and Arrogant Presidency, by Robert C. Byrd, from W.W. Norton & Co., ISBN 0393059421. "The ship of state is in dangerous water," writes Democratic Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia. "Our sacred traditions of debate, openness, and respect for opposing views are threatened as never before by the arrogance of power. Private agendas proliferate. Compulsive secrecy and the ideology of greed are quietly eroding the very foundations of our republic. I have taken a sacred oath to defend our constitution 'against all enemies, foreign and domestic.' This book is my effort to do just that."
