Plan of Attack

Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times Instantly essential…By far the most intimate glimpse we have been granted of the Bush White House, and the administration’s defining moment. Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times Engrossing…Woodward uses myriad details to chart the Bush administration’s march to war against Iraq. His often harrowing narrative not only illuminates the fateful interplay of personality and policy…but underscores the role that fuzzy intelligence, Pentagon timetables and aggressive ideas about the military and foreign policy had in creating momentum for war. David Cook, The Christian Science Monitor Richly detailed, awesomely sourced…a granular record of the nation’s march to war with Iraq, gleaned from interviews, memos, phone records, and PowerPoint presentations. Tim Rutten, Los Angeles Times A remarkable book, one that fulfills the too often ephemeral promise of what has come to be called investigative journalism….The American people seldom have been given this clear a window on their government’s most sensitive deliberations.

Bob Woodward, a reporter and editor at “The Washington Post” since 1971, has authored or coauthored ten New York Times #1 bestsellers, including “Plan of Attack, Bush at War, Shadow, The Agenda, The Commanders, Veil, Wired, The Brethren, The Final Days, ” and “All the President’s Men.”
