Rent Hubris: The Inside Story of Spin, Scandal, and the Selling of the Iraq War

Synopsis

This behind-the-scenes account of the march to war in Iraq uncovers base motives and unseemly behavior at the highest levels of government. Newsweek reporter Michael Isikoff and Nation writer David Corn are unsparing in their portrait of President George W. Bush and his inner circle, who they charge took the country to war for the wrong reasons. Isikoff and Corn chart the policy-making process, and document those involved, some of whom raised red warning flags against war. The authors also include an account of how Valerie Plame's CIA identity was leaked to journalists Bob Woodward and Bob Novak. HUBRIS draws on both authors' sources within the administration, the intelligence community, and Congress.
