This book examines how the Bush administration avoided telling the truth about Iraq to the public, to Congress, and often to themselves. In this detailed inside story of a war-torn White House, Woodward answers the core questions: What happened after the invasion of Iraq? Why? How does Bush make decisions and manage a war that he chose to define his presidency? And is there an achievable plan for victory?--From publisher description. 580 HU OSA 207 - Donation of the Open Society Institute-Budapest 600 10 Bush, George W. |q(George Walker), |d1946- 650 0 National security |zUnited States |xDecision making. 650 0 Iraq War, 2003-2011. 651 0 United States |xMilitary policy |xDecision making. 651 0 United States |xOfficials and employees. 942 |2ddc |cBK 952 |00 |10 |2ddc |40 |6973_931000000000000_WOO |70 |8GEN |9127200OSA |bOSA |d2019-01-24 |eSOROSHU |l0 |o973.931 WOO |r2019-01-24 |w2019-01-24 |yBK |cGeneral Stacks 920 01 7XOdQ5Y4 992 01 973_931000000000000_WOO |bQSW_QWYZZZZZZZZZZZZ_3BB 966 |cIn the Research Room
