Synopsis

Book by Unger Craig

A propos du livre

Revue de presse

'Billed as "a terrifyingly convincing and compelling expose of the true motivation of the Bush administration"' the key claim is that Bush has put the US on the road to Armageddon'
Scotland on Sunday 25/11
'The focus of Unger's book, coming after his succes de scandale with House of Bush, House of Saud, is the "counter-narrative" of the Bush presidency... Unger examines the build-up to the Iraq war to demonstrate the disastrous consequences of faith-based intelligence, as practiced by the ideologically-motivated White House'
Independent 11/1
'A vivid reporter'
The Economist 1/3
“A powerful account of the long-standing campaign by neoconservatives (which long
predated the terrorist attacks of 9/11) to topple Saddam Hussein, the ideological roots
of the administration’s ideas about preemption and unilateral action, and the efforts of
hawks in the Pentagon and the vice president’s office to bypass regular policy-making
channels and use cherry-picked intelligence to push for the war.”
—The New Y o r k T i m e s
“Reporters like Unger—there are a handful of them, and one learns to seek out their bylines—work the
trenches, questioning the conventional wisdom rather than creating it.” — T h e G u a r d i a n
