About State of Denial by Bob Woodward
Bob Woodward’s account of the Bush White House examines how the administration managed the Iraq War after the invasion and the disputes among senior officials over its direction. It reports that Chief of Staff Andrew Card spent 18 months trying to have Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld replaced, while President Bush and Vice President Cheney declined to do so.
The book also describes assessments of the administration’s policy implementation, concerns about Iraq’s condition, and Rumsfeld’s view that the government’s system for coordinating departments and agencies was failing. Readers interested in U.S. politics, the Iraq War, and the workings of presidential decision-making will find a detailed account of these issues and the questions they raised about a plan for victory.
