Written by veteran reporters Michael IsikofF and David Corn, this is an inside look at how a president took the nation to war using faulty and fraudulent intelligence. It's a dramatic page-turner and an intriguing account of conspiracy, backstabbing, bureaucratic ineptitude, journalistic malfeasance, and arrogance.
"Indispensable . . . There have been many books about the Iraq War, and there will be many others before we are through. This one, however, pulls together with unusually shocking clarity the multiple failures of process and statecraft."
— WASHINGTON POST
"The most comprehensive account of the White House's political machinations . . . fascinating reading." —THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW
"A bold and provocative book."
—TOM BROKAW
