| Zusammenfassung: | Of all the players in the planning and evolution of the Bush Administration's war on terrorism, few were more integral--or more controversial--than Douglas Feith, the chief strategist on Donald Rumsfeld's Pentagon policy team. A highly influential international policy analyst for more than a quarter century, Feith worked closely with Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz, Colin Powell, Condoleezza Rice, Vice President Cheney, and President Bush in defining the U.S. response to the attacks of 9/11--from the successful war on Afghanistan to the more challenging invasion of Iraq and its aftermath. Now, in this candid and revealing memoir, Feith--a charter member of the neoconservative movement and an architect of the administration's preventive strategy in the war on terrorism--offers the most in-depth and authoritative account yet of the Pentagon's evolving stance during one of the most controversial eras of American history. Drawing upon a unique trove of documents and records, this extraordinary chronicle will put the reader in the room for scores of previously unreported senior-level meetings, showing how hundreds of critical decisions were made in defense of American interests during and after the crisis of 9/11--decisions both successful and controversial. Where journalists like Bob Woodward could only speculate, Feith is the first inside player to reveal the inner workings of the Pentagon, at a time when history hung in the balance.--From publisher description. |

In the years since the attacks of September
11, 2001,
journalists, commentators, and others have published
accounts of the Bush Administration s war on terrorism.
But no senior Pentagon official has offered an inside view
of those years, or has challenged the prevailing narrative of
that war
—
until now.
Douglas J. Feith, the head of the Pentagon s Policy
organization, was a key member of Donald Rumsfeld s
inner circle as the Administration weighed how to protect
the nation from another
9/1
1. In War and Decision, he puts
readers in the room with President Bush, Vice President
Cheney, Rumsfeld, Paul
Wolfowitz, Condoleezza
Rice, Colin
Powell, General Tommy Franks, and other key players as the
Administration devised its strategy and war plans. Drawing
on thousands of previously undisclosed documents, notes,
and other written sources, Feith details how the Admin¬
istration launched a global effort to attack and disrupt
terrorist networks; how it decided to overthrow the Saddam
Hussein regime; howit came to impose an occupation on Iraq
even though it had avoided one in Afghanistan; how some
officials postponed or impeded important early steps that
could have averted major problems in Iraq s post-Saddam
period; and how the Administration
s
errors in war-related
communications undermined the nation s credibility and
put U.S. war efforts at risk.
Even close followers of reporting on the Iraq war will be
surprised at the new information Feith provides
—
presented
here with balance and rigorous attention to detail. Among
other revelations. War and Decision demonstrates that the
most far-reaching warning of danger in Iraq was produced
not by State or by the CIA, but by the Pentagon. It reveals
the actual story behind the allegations that the Pentagon
wanted to anoint Ahmad Chalabi as ruler of Iraq, and what
really happened when the Pentagon challenged the CIA s
work on the Iraq-al Qaida relationship. It offers the first
accurate account of Iraq postwar planning—a topic widely
misreported to date. And it presents surprising new por¬
traits of Rumsfeld, Rice. Powell, Richard
Armitage,
L.
Paul
Bremer,
and others
—
revealing how differences among
them shaped U.S. policy.
With its blend of vivid narrative, frank analysis, and
elegant writing. War and Decision is like no other book on
the Iraq war. It will interest those who have been troubled by
conflicting accounts of the planning of the war, frustrated
by the lack of firsthand insight into the decision-making
process, or skeptical of conventional wisdom about Opera¬
tion Iraqi Freedom and the global war on terrorism

Ill., Kt. txt rdacontent n rdamedia nc rdacarrier Includes bibliographical references and index Of all the players in the planning and evolution of the Bush Administration's war on terrorism, few were more integral--or more controversial--than Douglas Feith, the chief strategist on Donald Rumsfeld's Pentagon policy team. A highly influential international policy analyst for more than a quarter century, Feith worked closely with Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz, Colin Powell, Condoleezza Rice, Vice President Cheney, and President Bush in defining the U.S. response to the attacks of 9/11--from the successful war on Afghanistan to the more challenging invasion of Iraq and its aftermath. Now, in this candid and revealing memoir, Feith--a charter member of the neoconservative movement and an architect of the administration's preventive strategy in the war on terrorism--offers the most in-depth and authoritative account yet of the Pentagon's evolving stance during one of the most controversial eras of American history. Drawing upon a unique trove of documents and records, this extraordinary chronicle will put the reader in the room for scores of previously unreported senior-level meetings, showing how hundreds of critical decisions were made in defense of American interests during and after the crisis of 9/11--decisions both successful and controversial. Where journalists like Bob Woodward could only speculate, Feith is the first inside player to reveal the inner workings of the Pentagon, at a time when history hung in the balance.--From publisher description.
