Hubris: The Inside Story of Spin, Scandal, and the Selling of the Iraq War-Fast Shipping

Description

The real story behind the investigation of Iraq, and the basis for the MSNBC documentary of the same name hosted by Rachel Maddow

Filled with news-making revelations that made it a New York Times bestseller, Hubris takes us behind the scenes at the White House, CIA, Pentagon, StateDepartment, and Congress to show how George W. Bush came to invade Iraq–and how his administration struggled with the devastating fallout.

Hubris connects the dots between Bush’s expletive-laden outbursts at SaddamHussein, the bitter battles between the CIA and the White House, thefights within the intelligence community over Saddam’s supposed weaponsof mass destruction, the outing of an undercover CIA officer, and theBush administration’s misleading sales campaign for war. Written byveteran reporters Michael Isikoff and David Corn, this isan inside look at how a president took the nation to war using faultyand fraudulent intelligence. It’s a dramatic page-turner and anintriguing account of conspiracy, backstabbing, bureaucratic ineptitude,journalistic malfeasance, and arrogance.
