The White House Murder Case

Work:: The White House Murder Case (S01224413874)

An unpopular war. An effort to find a fall guy after a disaster. Cover-ups and lies emanating from the highest levels of the White House. Sound familiar? A satirical gem a week before the next US Presidential election. Jules Feiffer's hilariously lethal political satire on the hypocrisy of American politics and militarism was called a 'killer farce' when it opened in1970 during the Vietnam War. It is still topical and relevant. Feiffer skewers the political climate: Operation Total Win is a total loss for the USA in their war against Brazil. Not only that, against the Geneva Convention, the troops have brought experimental nerve gas with them into battle - for research purposes, of course. When the wind blows in the wrong direction, it kills 750 US troops. Since it is election year, the President calls his cabinet to help spin a story about the incident that the American public will swallow.
