It's Seymour Hersch! Read it.

Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2015

Verified Purchase

It is Seymour Hersch. Thus, it is worth reading...he is again, clear, tells truth no matter who it is or how high up they are. Oh that we had more reporters like him, for the White House and govt runs/dictates near all news...big business runs nearly all govt...Sooo, we still can find some truth some time with men like Hersch.
I find it hard to believe we will ever have a transparent govt or a press that lessens entertainment and 75% opinion and just gives us news...but for now, whatever the nation is in all its secrecy, spying on its people, aggressiveness towards other nations, etc, we must be grateful for each day we have freedoms we have while we have what we have...treasure truth, treasure men as Seymour H....Great book. Read it.

There remains a good case for legal action against President Bush (the younger)

Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2017

Verified Purchase

Seymour Hersh tell the story very well. The US invasion of Iraq was foreseen as a disaster not just in hindsight. There were no defense, moral or ethical reasons for the US actions in the second Iraq war. There remains a good case for legal action against President Bush (the younger), Dick Cheney, Rumsfeldt, Tony Blair and others. Thanks to the US Constitution guaranteeing Freedom of Speech these crucial stories can be told.

Masterpiece about Our Misguided War in Iraq

Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2005

Verified Purchase

Hersh has written, without getting bodded down in political bias, the definitive indictment against Bush's war in Iraq. With well-founded documentation, he shows in readable prose the Bush Administration's predisposition to invade Iraq. He shows for example how the Administration ignored the International Atomic Energy Agency's report that Iraq did not have WMDs. What's even more disturbing is that the Administration bypassed the vetting process, known as "stovepiping," whereby information is filtered meticulously before it reaches the President's hands. In this manner, the President, in theory, won't make any life or death decisions, such as waging war, based on faulty information, but he shows how Bush dangerously and recklessly ceased using these safeguards.

Over and over, Hersh provides evidence, from both Right and Left sources, including the CIA, that Bush relied on corruption to get us bogged down into the disastrous war in Iraq. And I haven't even touched on the prisoner scandals which are chronicled here. No doubt about it, Hersh has written a masterpiece about highly-organized government deceit and corruption.

extraordinary

Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2005

Verified Purchase

This work examines the `War on Terror' with exemplary skill. The author uses a broad range of sources to expose events missing from standard press releases. Subjects include intelligence, policy, `preemptive defense' (targeted killing), Afghanistan, Iraq (advocacy/planning/invasion), torture, Musharraf, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, etc.

In a masterful example of investigative journalism, Hersh exposes inconsistency that should worry every reader. If we hope to win, it should be pursued to determine full accountability and chart a course for correction.

A great and important book!

Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2009

Verified Purchase

American history of the latter part of the 20th century cannot by written without taking the works of legendary journalist Seymour Hersh into account. This is one of his seminal works and should be read by every serious student of history. Nuff said.

Partial Understanding

Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2009

Verified Purchase

Very well documented especially on build-up to ABU Ghraib. Does a good job of discussing some of the issues w/in the White House. However, it does not provide a complete picture of the wars. Left with the feeling that I was shown a very good slice of history, but missing most of the meal.

Sy Hersch Does It Again

Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2005

Verified Purchase

One of the most important journalists of our time has done it again. Hersch uncovers not just the facts, but the motives and issues from pre-9/11, 9/11, Afghanistan, Iraq, and Abu Grahib. This is more than I expected in terms of breadth, and packed with insight, quotes and revelations. One might question his often used un-named quotes....but they are often backed with additional facts to make them unmistakable in their accuracy.

A very good read...hard to put down....and sad that the information is not more commonly discussed.
