March 2003: The United States invades
Iraq.
October 2006: The world finds out
why.
What was really behind the U.S.-led invasion
of Iraq? As George W. Bush steered the nation to war, who
spoke the truth and who tried to hide it? Hubris
takes us behind the scenes at the Bush White House, the CIA,
the Pentagon, the State Department, and Congress to answer
all the vital questions about how the Bush administration
came to invade Iraq.
Filled with new revelations,
Hubris is a gripping narrative of intrigue that
connects the dots between George W. 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 weapons of mass destruction, the
startling influence of an obscure academic on top government
officials, the real reason Valerie Plame was outed,
and a top reporter’s ties to wily Iraqi exiles trying to
start a war. Written by veteran reporters Michael Isikoff
and David Corn, this is the inside story of how President
Bush took the nation to war using faulty and fraudulent
intelligence. It is a news-making account of conspiracy,
backstabbing, bureaucratic ineptitude, journalistic
malfeasance, and, especially, arrogance.
