Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

America listens to Jim Hightower. More than eighty thousand people subscribe to The Hightower Lowdown Newsletter while his radio show is aired on more than sixty public and commercial radio stations.

In They've Stolen Our Country and It's Time To Take It Back, he takes on the Bushites, the Wobblycrats, and the corporate Kleptocrats, digging up behind-the-scenes dirt that the corporate media overlooks-like BushCo's "Friday Night Massacres," what's happened to our food, and the Bush plan for empire. But the book also offers grassroots solutions, drawing on Hightower's Rolling Thunder Down-Home Democracy Tour, a traveling festival of rebellion against every tentacle of the corporate-politico power grab. At kitchen tables all over America, Hightower has tapped into the thriving activist networks that are our country's grassroots muscle, and his book tells their uplifting stories of retaking control of their communities. This is the real America that the rest of the world doesn't get to see.

With his unique blend of wit and outrage, Jim Hightower "lights a prairie fire"-and it's just the spark that his growing national audience craves.

Review:

"Hightower is a gifted humorist...[with] considerable talents....This book won't change any minds...but it will entertain Bush's critics and help establish Hightower as one of the stronger voices of liberalism in the country." Library Journal

Review:

"[A] timely manifesto....Devotees of Hightower...will find much to admire, but the average reader will consider the book a jumble of loosely connected treatises laced with distracting sidebars and peppered with hyperbolic forebodings of government evil." Publishers Weekly

Review:

"Where's Tom Paine when we need him? Right here — wearing a cowboy hat, roaring out of Bush's own state, making all kinds of Common Sense, and pointing the way out of our national embarrassment of a government occupied by thieves and lunatics! Halliburton and John Ashcroft will hate this book, which is why you'll love it. Don't just read it — take Hightower's message to heart, take action on it, and take your country back!" Michael Moore

Review:

"Jim Hightower is a tireless champion for every American, and he has the right prescription for what ails our nation." Jesse Jackson

Review:

"If you can imagine Ralph Nader with the sense of humor of Jon Stewart and a Texas accent, you pretty much have Jim Hightower." Molly Ivins
