The instant "New York Times" bestseller that took the country by storm and pointed fingers at the 100 people who are helping to destroy the culture of America, is now fully revised in paperback, with an updated introduction and 10 new names! A slow poison is running through America's veins, says Bernie Goldberg. It's a poison that is turning America into a far nastier place than it ought to be, a more selfish and cynical place, a less decent and civil place. It's easy to believe that it's nobody's fault; that this is just the way society has evolved. But that's not true. There are specific individuals who, in various ways, are screwing things up in this country, people who are changing America in ways that erode its very ethical and moral underpinnings. "100 People" is about those villains, about the various poisons they spread and the damage each does. In short, this is a book about the very real people like Jerry Springer and Ludacris to Michael Moore and Al Franken, who are doing us very real harm, people who, Goldberg says, need to be held accountable.
