Review:
"If you want to read a serious book about the origins and consequences of the intervention in Iraq in 2003, you owe it to yourself to get hold of a copy of Douglas Feith's War and Decision."--Christopher Hitchens, Slate

"Meticulous. . . . A convincing refutation of unfair allegations about the author [and] a balanced analysis of policy debates about Iraq inside the administration. . . . Will be studied for years by journalists, historians and aspiring political appointees."--National Review

"Indispensable. . . . The best account to date of how the administration debated, decided, organized and executed its military responses to the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. Much of what makes War and Decision so compelling is that it is, in effect, a revisionist history."--Bret Stephens, Wall Street Journal

"Extraordinarily frank and persuasive. . . . [O]ur first in-depth look at the inside of the Bush administration's national security top leadership from one who was there. [Feith] has been criticized harshly and, I think, unfairly."--Michael Barone, U.S. News & World Report

"What's needed now? More memoirs, more data, more information, more testimony. More serious books, like Doug Feith's. More 'this is what I saw' and 'this is what is true.' Feed history."--Peggy Noonan, Wall Street Journal

"By far the most balanced, detailed, and lucid account of this story that's come out yet. . . . Feith makes the first intellectually serious attempt to explain how the government tried to answer that question [of settling post-9/11 defense strategy] in the years after 9/11."--"The Corner," National Review Online

"As Americans turned on the Iraq war, anti-war forces tried to portray the war as not only a mistake, but the result of a neoconservative coup. . . . In his new memoir, War and Decision, Mr. Feith does an admirable job in dispelling this hokum."--Eli Lake, New York Sun

"Extraordinary. . . . I was unprepared for the thoroughness of the documentation, the sweeping nature of the narrative and the highly readable prose. It is the first attempt by a serious student of history to lay out the myriad, challenging choices confronting a president. . . . Splendid."--Frank J. Gaffney Jr., Washington Times

Indispensable. . . . The best account to date of how the administration debated, decided, organized and executed its military responses to the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. Much of what makes War and Decision so compelling is that it is, in effect, a revisionist history. --Bret Stephens, Wall Street Journal"

Extraordinarily frank and persuasive. . . . [O]ur first in-depth look at the inside of the Bush administration s national security top leadership from one who was there. [Feith] has been criticized harshly and, I think, unfairly. --Michael Barone, U.S. News & World Report"
