Author Gore Vidal talked about his book Dreaming War: Blood for Oil and the Cheney-Bush Junta, published by Nation Book’s Thunder’s Mouth Press. In this collection of essays he argues that large corporations, America’s imperialist policies, and the Bush administration are the catalysts behind America’s war on terror. In the book, the author questions how much of a surprise the attacks of September 11, 2001 were to the Bush administration and explores the possibility that Osama bin Laden had a relationship with George W. Bush while Bush was involved with Texas oil. Mr. Vidal read from his book and was interviewed by Leonard Lopate, WNYC Radio Host. Mr. Vidal also responded to questions submitted by the audience. close
