I read this book because my boss wrote it (David Corn). I think it started to lag in the second half-- just got too nitty-gritty, I guess-- but it's worth reading if you want to understand as best as anyone can how we ended up at war in Iraq. It's pretty crazy; you really can't make this stuff up. A good example of muckraking. A lot of the questions that democratic congressmen have just started to ask are already answered-- in this book. Needless to say, given I am such a slow reader, this book took me forever to read.
