War and Decision: Inside the Pentagon at the Dawn of the War on Terrorism by Douglas J. Feith
Requirements: ePUB Reader, 1.9MB
Overview: In the years since the attacks of September 11, 2001, journalists, commentators, and others have published accounts of the Bush Administration’s war on terrorism. But no senior Pentagon official has offered an inside view of those years, or has challenged the prevailing narrative of that war—until now.
Douglas J. Feith, the head of the Pentagon’s Policy organization, was a key member of Donald Rumsfeld’s inner circle as the Administration weighed how to protect the nation from another 9/11. In War and Decision, he puts readers in the room with President Bush, Vice President Cheney, Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz, Condoleezza Rice, Colin Powell, General Tommy Franks, and other key players as the Administration devised its strategy and war plans. Drawing on thousands of previously undisclosed documents, notes, and other written sources, Feith details how the Administration launched a global effort to attack and disrupt terrorist networks; how it decided to overthrow the Saddam Hussein regime; how it came to impose an occupation on Iraq even though it had avoided one in Afghanistan; how some officials postponed or impeded important early steps that could have averted major problems in Iraq’s post-Saddam period; and how the Administration’s errors in war-related communications undermined the nation’s credibility and put U.S. war efforts at risk.
