Drawing on years of investigative reporting and exclusive access to top secret government documents, Risen meticulously exposes the lies, distortions, and deceptions that led the United States into a catastrophic war.

The Road to War

In the wake of the September 11th attacks, the Bush administration became consumed by a thirst for revenge and a desire to reshape the Middle East in its own image. Risen reveals how key figures within the administration, including Vice President Dick Cheney and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, seized on 9/11 as an opportunity to pursue their long-held plans for military intervention in Iraq.

Risen documents how the administration deliberately hyped the threat posed by Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction and systematically ignored intelligence that contradicted their claims. He shows how they pressured the CIA to produce doctored evidence to support their case for war and how they silenced or sidelined anyone who dared to question their assumptions.

The Invasion and Its Aftermath

When the United States invaded Iraq in 2003, it did so on the false premise that Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction. As Risen makes clear, the invasion was not only illegal but also based on lies.

The aftermath of the invasion was even more disastrous than the war itself. The United States found itself bogged down in a bloody and expensive conflict that destabilized the region and created a breeding ground for terrorism. The Iraqi people suffered untold horrors, including the deaths of hundreds of thousands of civilians, the destruction of their homes and infrastructure, and the displacement of millions of people.

The Legacy of Bush and Cheney

The Bush-Cheney administration's decision to invade Iraq will forever be remembered as one of the most tragic blunders in American history. The war cost the lives of thousands of American soldiers and Iraqi civilians, destabilized the Middle East, and undermined the United States' standing in the world.

Risen's book is a powerful indictment of the Bush-Cheney administration's war crimes. It is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the true cost of the Iraq War and the dangers of unchecked presidential power.
