by Steve Brodner

A superlative craftsman as a caricaturist and a no-holds-barred satirist, Steve Brodner is a familiar and beloved contributor to The New Yorker , Rolling Stone , The Atlantic , Harper's , The New York Times , and every other magazine that counts. Freedom Fries is Brodner's absurdly nightmarish journey through the last 30 years of American politics. What a cast of characters - Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush I, Clinton, Bush II. And those are just the presidents!
