From 2000 to 2004 Carole Coleman was the Washington correspondent for Ireland's national broadcaster. RTE. In June 2004. on the eve of Bush's visit to Ireland, she was given the opportunity to conduct a ten-minute interview with him. If the president's men were expecting a puff piece by a pretty colleen from the ould sod, they were wrong. With only ten minutes to ask the questions that so many people wanted answered. Coleman did not accept stock responses but rather repeatedly urged Mr. Bush to address the hard issues. She later went on a trip around the "red states." to try to uncover the connection between old time religion and the policies and supporters of Mr. Bush, a connection that astounds and mystifies Europeans. This book starts with a one-chapter memoir of the interview, then moves on the journal of her voyage of discovery. Poignant, amusing, and insightful. Alleluia America! is a rare outsider's glimpse into the heart of God's Country.
