BOOKSAMILLION.COM A landmark book by the author of nine #1 national nonfiction bestsellers. Plan of Attack is the definitive account of a turning point in history as President George W. Bush, his war council, and allies launch a preemptive attack on Iraq, toppling Saddam Hussein and taking over the country. From in-depth interviews and documents, Bob Woodward provides an authoritative narrative of the Administration’s behind-the-scenes maneuvering over two years and examines the causes and consequences of the most controversial war since Vietnam. What emerges is an astonishingly intimate portrait of the President, Vice President Dick Cheney, Secretary of State Colin Powell, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, CIA Director George Tenet, General Tommy Franks, other members of the war council and the White House staff, as well as key foreign leaders ranging from British Prime Minister Blair to Russian President Putin. Plan of Attack relates the how and the why of decisionmaking-including the secret meetings, secure phone calls, strategies, dilemmas, conflicts, and the raw emotions of war as they are rarely seen in contemporary history.

A few highlights include: · The Cheney Index: Cheney's income from Halliburton:
· Condoleeza Rice was on Chevron's board of directors during brutal attacks on Nigerians against protestors against Chevron's pollution of drinking water, degradation of the environment, and corporate exploitation of local resources and people. In an interview with FOX News, she said "I'm very proud of my association with Chevron and I think we should be very proud of the job that American oil companies are doing in exploration abroad, in exploration at home, and in making certain that we have a safe energy supply."
· Crony connections—Goodman lists companies cashing in on Iraq's misery, highlighting their campaign contributions, past abuses, crony connections and surging stock value.
· Clear description of US government and large media corporations to smother any other opinion besides that which supports the war. She also tells of how reporters in other countries have protested their government's efforts to limit information. For example, when the US murdered Al-Jazeera's Tareq Ayyoub, Americans blamed the victim. In other countries foreign reporters went on strike. Spanish reporters refused to record the words of the Spanish prime minister who joined Bush and Blair. When he came into parliament for a press meeting, they piled their equipment at the front of the room and turned their backs on him. Later hundreds of journalists, camera men, and technicians marched on the US embassy in Madrid, stopped traffic and changed "Murderer, murderer." The Egyptian newspaper, Al-Ahrar called the attack a "massacre." In Mexico, El Universal declared it a front-page story: "The US is now murdering journalists."
· A study by the Project for Excellence in Journalism of 40.5 hours of prime-time coverage spread over 3 days by ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN and FOX examined 108 reports from embedded reporters. Not a single story depicted people hit by weapons.
