Bush came to invade Iraq--and how his administration struggled with the devastating fallout. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eHubris\u003c\/i\u003e connects the dots between Bush's expletive-laden outbursts at Saddam Hussein, the bitter battles between the CIA and the White House, the fights within the intelligence community over Saddam's supposed weapons of mass destruction, the outing of an undercover CIA officer, and the Bush administration's misleading sales campaign for war. Written by veteran reporters Michael Isikoff and David Corn, this is an inside look at how a president took the nation to war using faulty and fraudulent intelligence. It's a dramatic page-turner and an intriguing account of conspiracy, backstabbing, bureaucratic ineptitude, journalistic malfeasance, and arrogance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Crown Publishing Group (NY)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/29\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780307346827\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 496\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.81lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.96h x 5.24w x 1.08d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Lukas Prize Project - Finalist\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/15\/2007 pg. 24\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Michael Isikoff, David Corn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43040165789877,"sku":"9780307346827","price":13.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_96cb70bc-a0f1-417e-ab38-2016a617b87f.jpg?v=1689086050","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/hubris-the-inside-story-of-spin-scandal-and-the-selling-of-the-iraq-war-9780307346827","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
