Synopsis
A news-breaking exposé of the Bush administration's rush to war, from the coauthor of the New York Times bestseller Bush's Brain In this exclusive behind-the-scenes account, veteran journalist James Moore reveals how the overthrow of Saddam Hussein was a key goal of the Bush administration from the very beginning-and a critical component of the president's reelection strategy. Drawing on high-level sources inside the administration and the military, Moore weaves together a multifaceted narrative that probes the political underpinnings of the administration's push for an Iraq war, exposes efforts during the war (and after) to manipulate perceptions of U.S. military success, and contrasts it all to the ultimate price paid by soldiers duped into believing they were fighting for a just cause, not for political gain. Moore takes us inside strategy meetings at the White House and the Pentagon, revealing the political calculus behind critical military decisions. He examines the administration's unprecedented efforts to control an d withhold information, including in-depth discussions with Joseph C. Wilson, husband of Valerie Plame, the CIA operative allegedly exposed by Karl Rove. Moore also gives us an uncensored view of combat in Iraq, reporting opinions of a senior Air Force source and troops on the ground; he shows how the war's first American casualty actually died, and reveals what really happened to Jessica Lynch's unit. Finally, Moore uncovers what might be in store if Bush wins reelection: the use of Iraq as a forward base in the fight against terrorism, and where the war may go next. Publishing at the height of the presidential election season next spring, Bush's War for Reelection is sure to be one of the most talked about books of the year., "In November of 2002, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld assured us that the then-looming second Iraq war 'has nothing to do with oil, literally nothing to do with oil.' Since then, we've heard many other assertions about the war from George W. Bush and his cronies. And we've become less willing to believe. In this scathing indictment, Jim Moore adds to our reasons for doubt. He exposes the fibs and half-truths, ranging from Bush's disappearing act during his stint in the Texas Air National Guard, to the doctored intelligence reports that the Bush administration used to justify invading Iraq. He exposes the prevaricators while giving compassionate portraits of the soldiers who've died there. This book will make you mad. It might even make you vote." Robert Bryce author of Pipe Dreams: Greed, Ego, and the Death of Enron and the soon-to-be-released Cronies: Oil, the Bushes, and the Rise of Texas, America's Superstate "Jim Moore takes you into the minds of the warriors on the battlefield and to the heart of the decisions that put them there. A brilliant, unconventional look at war and its aftermath." Wayne Slater, Senior Political Writer, Dallas Morning News "James Moore masterfully details how Bush's war for reelection has real victims: the families of soldiers who have died in Iraq and American citizens who have dared to tell the truth. This exhaustively researched book exposes the dishonest underside of an administration that claims integrity as its calling card. Real young men and women are paying the price for Bush's follies with their lives, Moore reveals, while the man in the White House has used elitist connections to avoid ever risking anything." Mark Karlin, Editor, BuzzFlash.com, Bush's War for Reelection is a compelling expose of current conflict with Iraq, the moral questions raised by one nation declaring war against another, and the political effort to help George W. Bush win a second term in office through this war., A news-breaking expose of the Bush administration's rush to war, from the coauthor of the New York Times bestseller Bush's Brain In this exclusive behind-the-scenes account, veteran journalist James Moore reveals how the overthrow of Saddam Hussein was a key goal of the Bush administration from the very beginning-and a critical component of the president's reelection strategy.
