The Greatest Story Ever Sold: The Decline and Fall of Truth in Bush's America
Frank Rich
"So Frank Rich presents his information on a timeline starting, as with many of the books, starting mostly with September 11. It breezes over the time before -- between 2000 and September 11, 2001 with certain -- still with descriptions of certain events that were starting to already lead up to the Iraq war; but then it focuses on the build-up to the Iraq war and how that was sold, as well as the aftermath of war and how it's continued to be sold to the America public as a successful venture by the Bush administration.
I think that he does a very good job of doing I guess what I would call early history, which is not too long after the events have unfolded. He provides a very accurate description of what went on, which I think is a difficult thing to do. My only criticism is there's not a whole lot of new information that he's dug out of everything. I'll give Frank Rich's The Greatest Story Ever Sold four out of five stars."
