The presidency of George W. Bush has led to the worst foreign
policy decision in the history 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 has never 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 secret relationship between neoconservative policy
makers and the Christian Right, and how they assaulted the most
vital safeguards of America's constitutional democracy while
pushing the country into the catastrophic quagmire in the Middle
East that is getting worse day by day.
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 in which 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 connected to
many back-channel political and intelligence sources, Craig Unger
knows how to get the big story -- and this one is his most
explosive yet. Through scores of interviews with figures in the
Christian Right, the neoconservative movement, the Bush
administration, and sources close 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 could bend
history to its will has carried America into the disastrous war in
Iraq, dooming Bush's presidency to failure and costing America
thousands of lives and trillions of dollars. Far from ensuring our
security, the Iraq War will be seen as a great strategic pivot
point in history that could ignite wider war in the Middle East,
particularly in Iran.
Provocative, timely, and disturbing, "The Fall of the House of
Bush" stands as the most comprehensive and dramatic account of how
and why George W. Bush took America to war in Iraq.
