£85.00
First edition, first printing. Published by Century in London, 1993. A near fine book in like wrapper a touch faded on the spine.
A satirical political thriller that imagines the 1991 Gulf War as a manufactured event staged to secure President George H. W. Bush’s re-election. Blending conspiracy, media manipulation, and dark humour, the novel follows a detective uncovering the truth behind the war’s orchestration by Hollywood producers and political strategists. It critiques propaganda and the blending of entertainment with politics. The book inspired the 1997 film *Wag the Dog*, starring Dustin Hoffman.
