Woodward, the best-selling author of Plan of Attack and coauthor of All the President's Men, has written yet another influential work worthy of his illustrious reputation. This entry is the third in a highly critical series of exposes into the George W. Bush administration's War on Terrorism. The author believes the American public was not told the whole truth, especially about the war in Iraq. Woodward's intriguing picture, drawn through interviews, official records, and gossip, does raise several fascinating questions, but they are displayed in such an obviously slanted manner that it is distracting to the greater work. The actions and planning of the departments of State and Defense, plus the White House, are explored in depth, with special emphasis paid to Bush, Donald Rumsfeld, and Vice President Dick Cheney (and their assorted staffs). The performance of Adam Grupper is noteworthy; recommended especially for those interested in current events.-Scott R.
