Hubris - Michael Isikoff

The real story behind the investigation of Iraq, and the basis for the MSNBC documentary of the same name hosted by Rachel Maddow

Filled with news-making revelations that made it a New York Times bestseller, Hubris takes us behind the scenes at the White House, CIA, Pentagon, State
Department, and Congress to show how George W. Bush came to invade Iraq--and how his administration struggled with the devastating fallout.

Hubris 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.
