Dean, John W.
Broken Government: How Republican Rule Destroyed the Legislative, Executive, and Judicial Branches
New York Viking; Penguin 2007 0670018201 / 9780670018208 First Edition, First Printing Hard Cover Fine Fine Collectible
xviii, 332 pp., bib. notes, index; 25 cm. AS NEW. Dust jacket protected in a mylar book cover. "The former White House counsel faults Republican mismanagement for the current state of the government. John Dean has become one of the most trenchant and respected commentators on the current state of American politics and one of the most outspoken and perceptive critics of the administration of George W. Bush in his New York Times bestsellers Conservatives Without Conscience and Worse Than Watergate. In his eighth book, Dean takes the broadest and deepest view yet of the dysfunctional chaos and institutional damage that the Republican Party and its core conservatives have inflicted on the federal government. He assesses the state of all three branches of government, tracing their decline through the presidencies of Nixon, Ford, Reagan, Bush I, and Bush II. Unlike most political commentary, which is concerned with policy, Dean looks instead at process--making the case that the 2008 presidential race must confront these fundamental problems as well. Finally, he addresses the question that he is so often asked at his speaking engagements: What, if anything, can and should politically moderate citizens do to combat the extremism, authoritarianism, incompetence, and increasing focus on divisive wedge issues of so many of today's conservative politicians? ... This is a book for anyone who wants to return government to the spirit of the Constitution. / John Dean was White House legal counsel to President Nixon for a thousand days. Dean also served as chief minority counsel for the House Judiciary Committee and as an associate deputy attorney general in the U.S. Department of Justice." - Publisher.

Dean, John W. (John Wesley)
Conservatives without Conscience
New York Viking; Penguin 2006 0670037745 / 9780670037742 First Edition, First Printing Hard Cover Fine Fine Collectible
xl, 246 pp., bib. notes, index; 25 cm. AS NEW. Dust jacket protected in a mylar book cover. "John Dean takes a sobering look at how radical elements are destroying the Republican Party along with the very foundations of American democracy. John Dean's last New York Times bestseller, Worse Than Watergate: The Secret Presidency of George W. Bush, offered the former White House insider’s unique and telling perspective on George W. Bush's presidency. Once again, Dean employs his distinctive knowledge and understanding of Washington politics and process to examine the conservative movement's current inner circle of radical Republican leaders--from Capitol Hill to Pennsylvania Avenue to K Street and beyond. In Conservatives Without Conscience, Dean not only highlights specific right-wing-driven GOP policies but also probes the conservative mind-set, identifying recurring qualities such as the unbridled viciousness toward those daring to disagree with them, as well as the big business favoritism that costs taxpayers billions. Dean identifies specific examples of how court packing is seeking to form a judiciary that is activist by its very nature, how religious piety is producing politics run amok, and how concealed indifference to the founding principles of liberty and equality is pushing America further and further from its constitutional foundations. By the end, Dean paints a vivid picture of what’s happening at the top levels of the Republican Party, a noble political party corrupted by its current leaders who cloak their actions in moral superiority while packaging their programs as blatant propaganda. Dean, certainly no alarmist, finds disturbing signs that current right-wing authoritarian thinking, when conflated with the dominating personalities of the conservative leadership could take the United States toward its own version of fascism. / John Dean was White House legal counsel to President Nixon for a thousand days. Dean also served as chief minority counsel for the House Judiciary Committee and as an associate deputy attorney general in the U.S. Department of Justice." - Publisher.

Dean, John W.
Worse than Watergate: The Secret Presidency of George W. Bush
Boston Little, Brown and Company 2004 031600023X / 9780316000239 Hard Cover Fine Fine
xvii, 253 pp., biblio., index; 22 cm. AS NEW. Fine DJ. "John Dean knows what happens behind closed doors at the White House. As counsel to President Richard Nixon, he witnessed the malignant influence of excessive secrecy and its corruption of good intentions. Now this true insider presents a stunning indictment of George W. Bush's administration. With overwhelming evidence, he shows how the obsessive secrecy and hidden agenda of President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney have resulted in undemocratic-and dangerous-policies for the nation. Dean reveals, among other facts, even criminal offenses: How the Bush administration deceived Congress into granting it the authorization to go to war against Iraq-a betrayal that is a breach of faith and a constitutional crime; How Bush issued an executive order that sealed presidential papers indefinitely-a fiat that defies Congress and hides information that the public has a right to know; How the White House ordered the EPA to issue assurances that the air quality around Ground Zero after the 9/11 attacks was safe-a cynical, political ploy that ignored the dangerous asbestos levels in the area; How a senior administration official leaked that Ambassador Joe Wilson's wife was a covert CIA agent - an egregious violation of national security that borders on treason. / JOHN W. DEAN, widely known for his role in the Nixon administration and his classic, bestselling account of those years, Blind Ambition, John W. Dean has written numerous other books, including The Rehnquist Choice and most recently a biography of former president Warren G. Harding. Dean, who recently retired from his successful career as a private investment banker, now writes and lectures full-time. He lives in California." - Publisher.
