    About this audiobook

    He is the scourge of Stupid White Men everywhere. He's taken on fat cats, gun nuts, lying politicians. The Guardian describes him as "a wake-up call, a kick in the mental backside." And now, Michael Moore is back, daring to ask the most urgent question of these perilous times: Dude, Where's My Country?Michael Moore is on a mission in his new book: Regime Change. The man who slithered into the White House on tracks greased by his daddy's oil buddies is one of the many targets in Mike's blistering follow-up to his smash #1 Stupid White Men, the biggest selling nonfiction book of the year. Now no one is safe: corporate barons who have bilked millions out of their employees' lifetime savings, legislators who have stripped away our civil liberties in the name of "homeland security," and even that right-wing brother-in-law of yours (yes, we all have one) who manages, year after year, through his babbling idiocy, to ruin Thanksgiving dinner.Fearless, funny and furious, Michael Moore's new book is the call to arms we've all been waiting for, the kind of book that comes along once every so often that rallies citizens with humor and insight, and changes the course of the country.

    Author

    Michael Moore

    Michael Moore was born in Flint, Michigan, and attended Catholic schools, including a year in the seminary, which he says accounts for his healthy respect for the fires of hell which seem to be located somewhere just outside Crawford, Texas. He was an Eagle Scout, Newspaper Boy of the Week, and the youngest person ever elected to public office in the state of Michigan when he was 18-years old. Michael Moore is now the Oscar and Emmy-winning director of the groundbreaking and record-setting films Roger & Me, Bowling for Columbine, and Fahrenheit 9/11 (which also won the top prize at this year's Cannes Film Festival and has gone on to become the highest grossing documentary of all time.) No Disney film this year has made as much at the box office as Fahrenheit 9/11. It became the first documentary ever to premier at number one in the box-office in its opening weekend. Film Comment has called it "The Film of the Year." Michael Moore is also America's #1 selling nonfiction author with such books as Stupid White Men and Other Sorry Excuses for the State of the Nation, and Dude, Where's My Country. No other author has spent more weeks on the New York Times hardcover non-fiction list in the past two years than Michael Moore. Stupid White Men was also awarded Britain's top book honor, "British Book of the Year," the first time the award has been bestowed on an American author. Michael now has two new books being published by Simon & Schuster: Will They Ever Trust Us Again -- Letters from the War Zone, which is a compilation of letters he has received from soldiers in Iraq and from their families back home; and The Official Fahrenheit 9/11 Reader, which contains loads of backup materials for the film, plus essays, and the film's screenplay. In addition to winning the Academy Award for Bowling for Columbine, Michael Moore won the Emmy Award for his NBC and Fox series, TV Nation and was also nominated for his other series, The Awful Truth (which the L.A. Times called "the smartest and funniest show on TV.") Michael Moore also wrote and directed the comedy feature Canadian Bacon starring the late John Candy, and the BBC documentary, The Big One. He has directed music videos for R.E.M., Rage Against the Machine, Neil Young, and System of a Down. His other best-selling books include Downsize This! Random Threats from an Unarmed American, and Adventures in a TV Nation, which he co-wrote with his wife Kathleen Glynn. His books have been translated in over 30 languages, and have gone to #1 in Italy, Germany, France, Japan, Great Britain, Australia, Ireland, and New Zealand. Michael currently spends his time reading, gardening, and removing George W. Bush from the White House.

      This was written in 2003 on the eve of the 2004 election, to try to elect a president better for the country than W. Alas, we had to suffer Bush for 4 more years. Michael Moore is funny, self-righteous, a social liberal and a patriot, which I am not. He goes to great lengths to prove his contentions--the sources & notes are pages 219-246. Oh how sad it is that now we look upon the Bush years as good times. He may have been a war-monger, and made some very bad decisions, but at least he wasn't corrupt. But maybe those decisions in the Bush years led us to this despicable frightening abysmal horrifying shameful Trumpian moment.
    • 2/5
      Michael Moore writes about everything that is wrong with America according to him. As with most of his books, 33% fact 33% fiction, and 34% exploitation.
    • 4/5
      His 2003 follow-up to 'Stupid White Men'. Less angry and more reflective - as a result more interesting. A very interesting reading in the closing stages of the 2008 US election.
    • 3/5
      Typical Michael Moore. Of course he hates Bush and takes the side of the worker in a quick rundown of Post 9/11. A fun read if this is your kind of stuff.
    • 4/5
      Sometimes you need to get away from your usual reading. Step away from the fluff. Look at real issues. This was my dose-of-reality book. It's still humorous, but in a different way. And I am moderately interested in politics if they don't involve killing people.
    • 2/5
      You know, I liked what this book had to say, but I didn't really like how MMsaid it. Somebody somewhere has apparently told him he's a comedian andhe's not, but he 'thinks' he is. I could have done without the chapterwhere he thought he was writing as God, for instance, and the one that wassupposed to be an interview between his 100 year old self and a yet to beborn great granddaughter.... Poorly done, very unfunny, and unfortunate, Ithink, because, like Bowling for Columbine, MM has some very importantthings to say in this book concerning America, 9-11, why we are really inIraq, etc. I wish the talking heads on TV would ask the hard questions thathe asks in this book, and stir the whole country up. But, alas, with theinflammatory picture on the front of the book (the statue of Saddam beingtorn down, only this one has George Bush's face on it, with a leering andlaughing Michael Moore just below it) a lot of people won't pick this up andgive it a chance. Middle America, those soccer Moms and Nascar Dads whowill determine the outcome of the next election and who change their mindspolitically with the regularity of the four winds, those are the folks whoneed to read this book. No, they just need to know the truth that iscontained inside this book, the truth that the news media is not talkingabout. But they won't get it and this book will be dismissed as left wingbuffonnery. And that's sad.For content, this book is a 5. But for delivery, I'd have to give it a 2.He could have done so much better than this.
    • 1/5
      His next book on from STUPID WHITE MEN, this book deals much with the Iraq War. Once again, we see a return to his ranting writing style, except this time, any intelligent prose has been eliminated in favour of jumping on the Iraq bandwagon. He also decides that the Coalition of the willing isnt willing because although many major countries joined, some countries didnt! Shock! Horror!All in all, this is difficult to read without an extreme effort on the part of the reader. Be prepared to be faced with narrowminded writing.
    • 5/5
      If you like Michael Moore, you will enjoy this book. I think it is political humor at his best.
    • 3/5
      This was an interesting read. I think, while reading the book, it is important to realise that Michael Moore thinks in black and white. But still, he has some good points. I liked his prediction that Hillary should run for president.The book gave me a good insight in how American politics and businesses work, and it made me more wary of Western countries being as corrupt as others. It also made me feel powerless.
    • 3/5
      A provocative and at times highly polemic book that brings up a number of questionable details connected to the war on Iraq, the Bush government and US internal affairs. A problem is that many of these issues appear a little dated by now. Also, at times it is difficult to comprehend the importance of internal affairs from a foreigner's perspective. Not quite the impact of Stupid White Men but an engaging and thought-provoking read nonetheless.

    • 5/5
      This is one of those books that you either love or hate, depending on if you agree with its politics or not. Seeing how I gave it 5 stars, you can easily tell where my political affiliations lie.
    • 4/5
      An interesting read on what's really going on in moden day America from a political stand point.
    • 4/5
      Rather unfortunately-named.I say that because the book is really good, and smart, despite its lightweight jokey title.In fact I much preferred the book to what is essentially its "companion movie", F911.The book presents a much stronger case, and has better coverage of the issues.It goes far beyond the material and topics that F911 addresses.
    • 4/5
      I was spurred to read this book by Moore because I wanted to learn the thoughts of the man who aimed to overthrow President Bush. Keep it up Michael, all of our government leaders need critical scrutiny of their motives and actions, regardless of the times (post September 11th) or their party affiliation.
    • 4/5
      Although there may be some exaggeration and a lack of rigour, this is a refreshing book challenging the US establishment. Its loudness and brashness may seem a little over the top to those of us not from the USA, but maybe that's the most effective way of getting the message across in that particularly loud and brash country. And it reinforces for the rest of us the fact that not all US citizens conform to the widespread stereotypes of that nation.

      I enjoy Michael Moore's documentaries, but never read his books -- this was a mistake. Though he takes that same, homeboy tone as his documentaries, the books are filled with footnotes documenting every source, every article, every fact he presents making the book a great place to read for yourself what the president said when, what was done and by whom. This book was about the second President Bush's ties to the Saudis and what this had to do with Bush's response to 9/11 (among other things). It is a terrifying look into the lies, the manipulation, the MONEY in politics, in this case under Bush. Michael Moore is outraged, and reading this book reminds us (so easy to forget under Trump) that just because a former president is not a sociopathic narcissist does NOT make him a good guy.
    • 3/5
      Good book, especially the chapter by God.
    • 2/5
      I’m wondering if Fahrenheit 9/11 is a reiteration of this book, which is a tirade against George W. Bush. Moore over dramatizes the point and presents (some) opinions as facts. If I was on the fence, I’m not sure if this book would push me over to the liberal side.
