I found this book to be well written and engaging. I finished it with a heightened respect for McClellan and a lurking question of who he will vote for in 2008. McClellan came to Washington with a great deal of respect for Bush and trust in his ability to ...

Greg Palast
Plume
, 2007
Hits on point for which the real arguments are commonly diverted from
To me, the two most important points of the book had little to do with the U.S. election. The first relates to Iraqi oil. The few remaining Bush apologists simplify the concept of "war for oil" to mean that if Americans aren't looting the oil and coming home with a ...
