Behind the Iraq War, a story of influence, intelligence and presidential power

Josh Geltzer authored a book review in the Washington Post on Robert Draper's recently published book, To Start a War: How the Bush Administration Took America Into Iraq.

[T]he detailed, nuanced, gripping account of that strange and complex journey offered in Robert Draper’s “To Start a War: How the Bush Administration Took America Into Iraq” is essential reading — now, especially now. Draper exposes key points about the relationships among an American president, the executive branch he leads and the intelligence he receives that burn as fiercely today as they did almost two decades ago, when the United States hurtled into a war from which it has yet to extricate itself fully.
