Plan of Attack

Tim Rutten, Los Angeles TimesA remarkable book, one that fulfills the too often ephemeral promise of what has come to be called investigative journalism....The American people seldom have been giventhis clear a window on their government's most sensitive deliberations.David Cook, The Christian Science MonitorRichly detailed, awesomely sourced...a granular record of the nation's march to war with Iraq, gleaned from interviews, memos, phone records, and PowerPoint presentations.Michiko Kakutani, The New York TimesEngrossing...Woodward uses myriad details to chart the Bush administration's march to war against Iraq. His often harrowing narrative not only illuminates the fateful interplay of personality and policy...but underscores the role that fuzzy intelligence, Pentagon timetables and aggressive ideas about the military and foreign policy had in creating momentum for war.Michiko Kakutani, The New York TimesInstantly essential...By far the most intimate glimpse we have been granted of the Bush White House, and the administration's defining moment.--This text refers to the Paperbackedition.
