Inside Bush and Rumsfeld's Wars: My View from Central Command
What really happened at the highest levels of the administration during September 11, and through the Iraq and Afghan wars? What was it like to work with Rumsfeld on a daily basis? Could September 11 have been prevented? Were we right to attack Iraq? What really happened behind the scenes?
These questions and more have been burning in the minds of Americans and the world. For answers, they have turned to Bob Woodward, Richard Clarke and Michael Moore. It’s time that they turned to someone who really knows, someone who was truly on the inside, who was an active participant (unlike them) in the most sensitive, classified meetings with Bush, Rumsfeld, Tenet, and countless others.
This source is three star General Mike DeLong, USMC, retired, who was the #2 General at CENTCOM and General Tommy Franks’ right-hand man. From the bombing of the U.S.S Cole through the fall of Baghdad, General DeLong was an active participant in planning and executing the military response. General DeLong is the only other high-ranking General (aside from General Franks) from that time period in a position to offer more insider information than others.
This book offers what other books cannot: a military overview of what really took place during this critical time period. It reveals the inner workings within the halls of power, where life-and-death decisions were made without the benefit of hindsight. Its story is one of a kind, and DeLong tells it in a manner typical of a three-star general in the U.S. Marine Corps: directly, honestly and definitively.
This book stands alone as the definitive military account of what occurred behind the scenes of our country at war.
