Bush at War
Bush at War reveals in stunning detail how an untested president with a sweeping vision for remaking the world and war cabinet members often at odds with each other responded to the September 11 terrorist attacks and prepared to confront Iraq. Woodward's virtual wiretap into the White House Situation Room is the first history of the war on terrorism. more

real education into history and politics you can trust
I was listening to the morning meetings on the war the day after I purchased this book. A senator was addressing the panel which included the head of the CIA, FBI, General Franks and others. The senator said he had just read the book and stated that the reading briefed him better than any other...

Would have been a better read in 2004
One can say that the difference between a newspaper and a history book is that a newspaper is useless the next day, but a history book stays relevant for years afterwards. Following this logic, I would classify Woodward's "Bush at War" as closer to a newspaper than a history book. Reading it in...

Good Book
I wouldn't describe this as the best book I have ever read, however, it did give me a great deal of insight as to what occurred in the White House after 9/11. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in the war in Afghanistan.

The takedown of the Taliban and the preparation for war in Iraq.
This is a behind the seens picture of how the Bush Administration reacted to the events of 9/11/01. Bush did not initially want to do nation building but in the wake of 9/11/01, they were forced to do so by the conflict in Afghanistan with the Taliban and al Queda. Woodward gives us a picture...

Bush made strangely vulnerable
For all the conservatives who give this book one star because it's "filled with lies," I feel compelled to point out that I am a moderate liberal who enjoys reading these Woodward books because they help me empathize with the Bush administration more, not because I want to demonize them or make...

Hollow Gossip with a Neo-Conservative Echo
For those who give any credibility to Bush and his Neo-Conservative Administration, this will be an enjoyable dosage of literary pornography-you will be informed on nothing you are not already aware of, but may be provided with a warm feeling of admiration for those you consider to be decisive...

Matter-of-fact Transcript of First 100 Days
This book is not an opinion piece--it's nearly a minute-by-minute matter-of-fact transcript of what transpired in the Bush administration in the first 100 days after 9/11, up to the capture of Kabul.There are no sweeping judgments here, just the facts, in an accessible and readable style. If...

Wish he had turned his notes over to a real historian
The book recounts the basic events that we've all read in the newspapers at greater detail and while adding some original information based on meeting transcripts and interviews. The main thing we get is some sense of the personalities and their struggles amongst themselves and to deal with...

Bob Woodward- Administration stenographer
"Bush at War" takes us inside the Bush Cabinet's decision making process after the 9/11 attacks. It's a fascinating look at how and why the Emperor and his paladins (Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice, Powell, et al)decided to do what they did...if this account is true. This book is not investigative...
