Gore Vidal is one of America’s most prolific and best-known writers. He has written more than 22 books and more than 200 essays — a collection of his essays won the National Book Award in 1993. Vidal is the author most recently of Perpetual War for Perpetual Peace and Dreaming War: Blood for Oil and the Bush-Cheney Junta. Taken together, the books constitute a comprehensive attack on Americaâ??s imperialist ambitions and the military industrial complex. Writing in the Scotsman, critic Gavin Esler called Perpetual War “the finest serious critique of America’s use and abuse of power in the 21st century that I have read.” 

Democracy Now! host Amy Goodman recently met up with Gore Vidal for an extensive interview. The interview aired on May 13, 2003.
