Hubris the Inside Story of Spin, Scandal & the Selling of the Iraq War (Paperback)

,
THE REAL STORY BEHIND THE INVASION OF IRAQ
Now an MSNBC Documentary, 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, State Department, 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 Saddam Hussein, the bitter battles between the CIA and the White House, the fights within the intelligence community over Saddam's supposed weapons of mass destruction, the outing of an undercover CIA officer, and the Bush administration's misleading sales campaign for war. 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.
