This book examines how the Bush administration avoided telling the truth about Iraq to the public, to Congress, and often to themselves. In this detailed inside story of a war-torn White House, Woodward answers the core questions: What happened after the invasion of Iraq? Why? How does Bush make decisions and manage a war that he chose to define his presidency? And is there an achievable plan for victory?--From publisher description.0 aBush, George W.aIrakkrieg10aBush, George Wq(George Walker)d1946- 0aIraq War, 2003- 0aNational securityzUnited StatesxDecision making. 0aUnited StatesxMilitary policyxDecision making. 0aUnited StatesxOfficials and employees.
