The presidency of George W. Bush has resulted in the worst foreign policy decision in the annals of the United States -- the bloody, unwinnable war in Iraq. How did this happen? Bush's fateful decision was rooted in events that began decades ago, and until now this story hasn't been fully told.
From Craig Unger, the author of the bestseller House of Bush, House of Saud, comes a comprehensive, deeply sourced, and chilling account of the trick relationship between neoconservative policy makers and the Christian Right, and exactly how they assaulted the most essential safeguards of America's constitutional democracy while pushing the united states in to the catastrophic quagmire in the centre East that gets worse daily.
Among the powerful revelations in this book:
Why George W. Bush ignored the sage advice of his father, George H.W. Bush, and took America into war.
How Bush was convinced he was doing God's will.
How Vice President Dick Cheney manipulated George W. Bush, disabled his enemies within the administration, and relentlessly pressed for an attack on Iraq.
Which veteran government official, with the assent of the president's father, protested passionately that the Bush administration was making a catastrophic mistake -- and was ignored.
How information from forged documents that had already been discredited fourteen times by various intelligence agencies found its way into President Bush's State of the Union address where he made the case for war with Iraq.
How Cheney and the neocons assembled a shadow national security apparatus and created a disinformation pipeline to mislead America and start the war.
A seasoned, award-winning investigative reporter linked to many back-channel political and intelligence sources, Craig Unger knows how to get the best story -- and this the first is his most explosive yet. Through scores of interviews with figures in the Christian Right, the neoconservative movement, the Bush administration, and sources near to the Bush family, as well as intelligence agents in the CIA, the Pentagon, and Israel, Unger shows how the Bush administration's certainty that it might bend history to its will has carried America in to the disastrous war in Iraq, dooming Bush's presidency to failure and costing America a large number of lives and trillions of dollars. Definately not ensuring our security, the Iraq War will be observed as a great strategic pivot point in history that could ignite wider war in the centre East, particularly in Iran.
Provocative, timely, and disturbing, The Fall of the House of Bush stands as the utmost comprehensive and dramatic account of how and just why George W. Bush took America to war in Iraq.
