Non-Fiction Political
Plan of Attack is the definitive account of how and
why President George W. Bush, his war council, and allies
launched a preemptive attack to topple Saddam Hussein and
occupy Iraq. Bob Woodward's latest landmark account of
Washington decision making provides an original,
authoritative narrative of behind-the-scenes maneuvering
over two years, examining the causes and consequences of the
most controversial war since Vietnam. Based on
interviews with 75 key participants and more than three and
a half hours of exclusive interviews with President Bush,
Plan of Attack is part presidential history charting
the decisions made during 16 critical months; part military
history revealing precise details and the evolution of the
Top Secret war planning under the restricted codeword Polo
Step; and part a harrowing spy story as the CIA dispatches a
covert paramilitary team into northern Iraq six months
before the start of the war. This team recruited 87 Iraqi
spies designated with the cryptonym DB/ROCKSTARS, one of
whom turned over the personnel files of all 6,000 men in
Saddam Hussein's personal security organization. What
emerges are astonishingly intimate portraits: President Bush
in war cabinet meetings in the White House Situation Room
and the Oval Office, and in private conversation; Dick
Cheney, the focused and driven vice president; Colin Powell,
the conflicted and cautious secretary of state; Donald
Rumsfeld, the controlling war technocrat; George Tenet, the
activist CIA director; Tommy Franks, the profane and
demanding general; Condoleezza Rice, the ever-present
referee and national security adviser; Karl Rove, the
hands-on political strategist; other key members of the
White House staff and congressional leadership; and foreign
leaders ranging from British Prime Minister Blair to Russian
President Putin. Plan of Attack provides new
details on the intelligence assessments of Iraq's alleged
weapons of mass destruction and the planning for the war's
aftermath.
