Here Comes Trouble takes readers on an unforgettable, take-no-prisoners ride through the life and times of Michael Moore - Oscar-winning filmmaker, bestselling author and political activist - showing how a kid from the factory town of Flint, Michigan became the people’s provocateur.

From the eleven-year-old boy lost in the US Senate and found by Bobby Kennedy to the activist sneaking into a gathering of business leaders as they plot to move thousands of jobs to the Third World, and on to the night he dressed down President Bush from the Oscar stage, proclaiming that ‘We live in fictitious times …with a fictitious president’, Moore presents the formative stories from his life. Alternately funny, irreverent, eye-opening and moving, Here Comes Trouble captures the spirit of the past fifty years, and how they shaped an American agitator.
