The #1 New York Times bestseller from “one of America’s most hilarious and provocative writers … a volatile brew of one-liners and vitriol” (Time).

Renowned for his cranky conservative humor, P. J. O’Rourke runs hilariously amok in this book, tackling the death of communism; his frustration with sanctimonious liberals; and Saddam Hussein in a series of classic dispatches from his coverage of the 1991 Gulf War.

On Kuwait City after the war, he comments, “It looked like all the worst rock bands in the world had stayed there at the same time. ” On Saddam Hussein, O’Rourke muses: “He’s got chemical weapons filled with … with … chemicals. Maybe he’s got The Bomb. And missiles that can reach Riyadh, Tel Aviv, Spokane. Stock up on nonperishable foodstuffs. Grab those Diet Coke cans you were supposed to take to the recycling center and fill them with home heating oil. Bury the Hummel figurines in the yard. We’re all going to die. Details at eleven. ” And on the plague of celebrity culture, he notes: “You can’t shame or humiliate modern celebrities. What used to be called shame and humiliation is now called publicity. ”

Mordant and utterly irreverent, this is a modern classic from one of our great political satirists, described by Christopher Buckley as being “like S. J. Perelman on acid. ”

“Mocking on the surface but serious beneath … When it comes to scouting the world for world-class absurdities, O’Rourke is the right man for the job. ” —Los Angeles Times Book Review

“The funniest writer in America. ” —The Wall Street Journal
