"I wanted to read State of Denial because I had read one of the two previous books, not Bush at War but Plan of Attack, which Bob Woodward has written about the Bush Administration and their warlike ways. State of Denial is actually going more in depth into some of the decisions that were made before the war; and then after the war, it follows on where Plan of Attack left off. I find it interesting to view the parallels that Woodward is able to lay out in his book without saying as much. When I see the other things that have happened in the past and, of course, Vietnam is also a very good example of the very similar situation to what's happening currently. It uses the accounts of people that are both on and off the record that support the sense that the Bush Administration misled the American public. I would recommend this book to just about anyone that could get their hands on it, from ages eight to 80. I would hope that they would get out of it that American can do good and hopefully will do good in the future; but we need to not pay lip service to the phrase, "we learn from our mistakes." We need to actually learn from our mistakes. I would give this book four out of five stars. It lays out a very comprehensive idea of why the Bush Administration did what it did. At the same time, it doesn't - it flows in a choppy manner and is not necessarily as well written as other historical accounts."
