"In this incisive anduproarious satire on American polities, the author of 'Prizzi's Honor' and 'The Manchurian Candidate' turns his wicked eye on the "Impreial Presidency" -- with a 'real' emperor ruing America in the not too distant future (which may already be upon us). When a nuclear accident (or was it an accident?) destroys Washington, D.C., it's up to an army colonel named Caesare Appleton to asume command of the nation -- or at least he 'thinks' he's in command. While battling the Evil Empire of Nicaragua and plotting to convert Nantucket into a landing filed for CIA plnes carrying Colombian cocaine, he becomes both the master and the pawn of the omnipresent media." -- from the dj
