TomDispatch interviews Nick Turse

Republican Gomorrah

Inside the Movement That Shattered the Party

By Max Blumenthal

Republican Gomorrah is award-winning journalist Max Blumenthal's remarkable, muckraking debut. An "irresistible combination of anthropology and psychopathology," it is at once shocking, edifying and hilarious. Blumenthal describes the people and the beliefs that establishment Republicans—like John McCain and Sarah Palin—have to kowtow to if they have any hope of running for president, and how moderates have been systematically purged from party ranks.
