GORE, AL. The Assault on Reason. New York: The Penguin Press, 2007.
Hardcover, dust jacket.
FIRST EDITION, PRESENTATION COPY, INSCRIBED BY AL GORE: "For Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, with deepest respect and with thanks for administering my oath of office as V.P., Al Gore. June, 2007."
In addition to swearing in Gore for his second term as Vice President, Ginsburg also issued one of four clear dissents in the controversial Bush v. Gore which decided the 2000 United States presidential election. Gore's book is a critique of the Bush administration for its contribution to a general "assault on reason": in particular he highlights the disturbing trend of ignoring facts and intelligent analysis in policy decisions and instead letting cronyism and partisanship prevail.
