By a New York Times bestselling author: the true - and untold - story behind the planning and execution of the Iraq War.
In today's highly politicised atmosphere, Yossef Bodansky's 'The Secret History Of The Iraq War' distinguished itself upon its initial publication as the rare book that transcends the partisan backbiting and presents a history of the war far different from anything we have heard before: one enriched by incredibly detailed you-are-there reports from both foreign intelligence agencies and the Arab street.
As Bodansky reveals, the war was doomed from the start by the massive and systemic failures of the American intelligence community. As he argues, nearly every aspect of America's conflict with Iraq has been misunderstood, in both the court of public opinion and the White House itself.
Drawing upon an extraordinary wealth of previously untapped intelligence and regional sources, 'The Secret History Of The Iraq War' presents the most detailed, fascinating and convincing account of the most controversial war of our times - and offers a sobering indictment of an intelligence system that failed the White House, the American military, and the people of the Middle East.
