Description

A blistering critique of the intelligence failures behind 9/11 and the war in Iraq, by the highly respected investigative reporter James Bamford, author of Body of Secrets -- now with a new afterword. National bestseller. First time in paperback. A Pretext for War reveals the systematic weaknesses behind the failure to detect or prevent the 9/11 attacks, and details the Bush administration's subsequent misuse of intelligence to sell preemptive war to the American people. Filled with unprecedented revelations, from the sites of "undisclosed locations" to the actual sources of America's Middle East policy, A Pretext for War is essential reading for anyone concerned about the security of the United States. Acclaimed author James Bamford-whose classic bookThe Puzzle Palacefirst revealed the existence of the National Security Agency-draws on his unparalleled access to top intelligence sources to produce a devastating expose of the intelligence community and the Bush administration.
