«Soñando la guerra» is a collection of essays by Gore Vidal published by Editorial Anagrama in hardback (136 pages, in Spanish).
Gore Vidal criticises the Cheney-Bush administration's response to 9/11 and the war on terror, which he sees as driven by corporate interest in Eurasia's resources. He asks how much prior information the security services had, analyses Bin Laden and Saddam Hussein as media enemies, and rejects the doctrine of pre-emptive attack.
Volume 60 of Anagrama's Crónicas collection. Spanish edition of April 2006, translated by Jaime Zulaika, from the original «Dreaming War: Blood for Oil and the Cheney-Bush Junta» (2002).
Recommended for readers of political essays and history interested in US foreign policy and the debates after 9/11.
Eugene Luther Gore Vidal was an American writer and public intellectual known for his cynical epigrammatic wit. His novels and essays criticized the social and sexual norms he perceived as driving American life. Vidal was heavily involved in politics, and unsuccessfully sought office twice as a Democratic Party candidate, first in 1960 to the United States House of Representatives, and later in 1982 to the United States Senate.
