There are no scandalous disclosures here, no unearthing of long-concealed secrets. The book originated as a New York Times Magazine profile, and even plussed-up to more than 200 pages, a profile it remains. It appears that the price of access to Mr. Limbaugh for “Rush Limbaugh: An Army of One” has been the purging of any details that might pique him... In his short, skimpy book Mr. Chafets seems also to have lost his enthusiasm for asking tough questions, digging for facts and having opinions that fall short of gushing enthusiasm.
While there have been plenty of hatchet jobs on Rush Limbaugh, this is the first serious examination of his career and persona. Expanded from Zev Chafets's much-discussed cover story for The New York Times Magazine, this is a penetrating biography of a leading conservative power player. For more than twenty years, Limbaugh has used his microphone to entertain and enrage the largest audience in American broadcasting, and has set the agenda for the American Right. While Limbaugh's public persona is instantly recognizable, his background and private life are often misunderstood. This book provides a personal look at the self-proclaimed "most dangerous man in America," who gave Chafets extensive interviews and unprecedented access to his inner circle. Chafets has talked at length to everyone in Rush's life: family, staff, friends, even his psychologist. What emerges is a portrait of a master entertainer, a public intellectual, a political force, and a fascinating man.--From publisher description. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |

Much of it gets caught up in the political squabbles that Rush so relishes and really makes him what he is. The talk back in your face that appeals to quite a number out there. The personal side of the guy's life is hit at in small doses and paints a fellow who is just as controversial there and a strange mix particularly in his love life.
So Rush is portrayed here as the political animal that he is, and will be. The material is dated as it ends about half way through Obama's tenure. An update with the Trump era would be a good sequel. ( )
