Plot to Seize the White House

If you like reading true stories about government and corruption, check out Jules Archer's The Plot to Seize the White House. It's the shocking story of the attempt to overthrow FDR. Great read!

Revelations!

A must read for those who actually want facts!

Hubris Indeed

This book presents a disturbing composite of officials in the highest echelons of the US government. In essence, the premise is that officials in the White House, NSA, CIA and other government agencies responsible for the security of this nation skewed, ignored or twisted intelligence to fit their own personal and/or geopolitcal views regarding the Middle East and to support a pre-existing agenda to make war with Iraq. This premise is convincingly supported by painstaking research, including extremely revealing glimpses into the mindset of the government leaders. One of the most provocative and telling quotes is attributed to the President, who, after the Valerie Wilson debacle, was asked by one reporter what level of accountability would be imposed. The President was recounted as replying that the 2004 election was the 'accountability moment'. No one in his administration was ever fired, even after later information confirmed their ineptitude. Stylistically, the book is not the easiest read and the narrative suffers from time-shifting. However, it is a must read for those intrerested in learning about how flaws in human character shape national policy and can lead the country into war.

The 'Real' inside story of the outing of Valerie Plame? Does he mean the REAL story that just broke that said that Bush and Rove had NOTHING to do with it? Somehow I doubt there will be a retraction in the book.
