Book: State Power and Democracy: Before and During the Presidency of George W. Bush
Looking behind the facade of democracy in the US, too: Andrew Kolin (Hilbert College), "State Power and Democracy: Before and During the Presidency of George W. Bush" (Palgrave Macmillan, December 2010).
Includes a sequence of chapters titled "Growth of State Power and the Assault on Democracy", "Eroding Democracy in a Time of Crisis", "Accelerating the Assault on Mass Democracy", and "Absolute Power at the Expense of Democracy".
Endorsements: "Andrew Kolin provides both a powerful warning and a wake-up call about the death of democratic ideals in the United States." (Henry Giroux, McMaster University)
"This compelling book traces ... the rise of a police state that ... has used surveillance, preventive detention, torture, and a climate of fear to consolidate its power and neutralize dissent. Under the guise of nurturing democracy at home and abroad, the U.S. government has actually undermined it." (Marjorie Cohn, Thomas Jefferson School of Law)
