| | Publisher's Note | In the winter of 2002, Stupid White Men took America -- and the world -- by storm. Tired and skeptical of George W. Bush's high approval ating, frightened by the implications of the Enron scandal -- and generally just looking for a voice of honest dissent in the thick atmosphere of jingoism that followed 9/11 -- book buyers from coast to coast swiftly embraced Michael Moore's in-your-face anti-Bush-era manifesto, making it one of the bestselling nonfiction books of the year. With an unerring eye for greed, hypocrisy, and corruption, Michael Moore takes on the whole ugly mess of America at the dawn of the twenty-first century. Whether he's demanding U.N. action to overthrow the Bush Family Junta or calling on African Americans to place whites only signs over the entrances of unfriendly businesses, Stupid White Men is a pitch-perfect skewering of our culture of Malfeasance and Mediocrity.
| | Industry reviews | "Moore tackles...issues with sharp political intellect, dry humor and self-deprecation without sounding like a tired old liberal....STUPID WHITE MEN may offend many people, but that's what makes Moore an original. He is not afraid to publish dissent when it's unpopular to do so. And there's nothing more patriotic and American than that."

"A more irresponsible book on a more important topic would be impossible to write."

"Like other loose cannon, this giggling geek...occasionally scores a bull's-eye that more than redeems the bosh shots."
