Title: Bush at war
Description: "Based on interviews with more than a hundred sources and four hours of exclusive interviews with the president, Bush at War reveals Bush's sweeping, almost grandiose, vision for remaking the world. "I'm not a textbook player, I'm a gut player," the president said." "Woodward's virtual wiretap into the White House Situation Room reveals a stunning group of an untested president and his advisers, three of whom might themselves have made it to the presidency.".

"Vice President Dick Cheney, taciturn but hardline, always pressing for more urgency in Afghanistan and toward Iraq. Secretary of State Colin Powell, the cautious diplomat and loyal soldier, tasked with building an international coalition in an administration prone to unilateralism. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, the brainy agitator and media star who led the military through Afghanistan and, he hopes, through Iraq.

National security advisor Condoleezza Rice, the ever-present troubleshooter who surprisingly emerges as perhaps the president's most important advisor." "Bush at War includes a vivid portrait of CIA director George Tenet, ready and eager for covert action against terrorists in Afghanistan and worldwide. It follows a CIA paramilitary team leader on a covert mission inside Afghanistan to pay off assets and buy friends with millions in U.S. currency carried in giant suitcases."--BOOK JACKET.
