The serial mistruths, mistakes and misperceptions about Iraq’s supposed weapons of mass destruction and alleged support for Al Qaeda are laid out in devastating detail in Robert Draper’s authoritative new book.

Draper carefully examines the Bush administration’s illusions about Iraq.

... the detailed, nuanced, gripping account of that strange and complex journey offered in Robert Draper’s To Start a War: How the Bush Administration Took America Into Iraq is essential reading—now, especially now.

Draper obliquely acknowledges that subsequent events have conspired to make the whole Bush family look better in retrospect, and although this is certainly true - George W. Bush being a stubborn dimwit but not a free-associating sociopathic monster - it can’t possibly save this book from old and not-so-old angers, as Draper must know better than anybody.

... compelling and richly documented.

In To Start a War: How the Bush Administration Took America Into Iraq, Robert Draper, a writer-at-large for the New York Times draws on a mountain of government documents released under the Freedom of Information Act and interviews with hundreds of key players to provide an authoritative account of one of the most catastrophic decisions in recent American history..

... authoritative.

... caustic and engrossing.
