Hubris: The Inside Story of Spin, Scandal, and the Selling of the Iraq War Audiobook

" Seems like a number of books I read have to do with "what happened." (I have a bunch of engineering disaster books I have yet to add here.) I think my curiosity in that way led to reading this. It has a ton of detail, maybe too much for those not riveted by the subject, but it was strange and scary trip I found mesmerizing. "

" Isn't as well written as "Fiasco". "

" I thought it was a good read, but it may not be for everyone. I found myself daydreaming through parts only to have to re-read the section. The author pieces together information that I have heard from separate sources into one book. If you know the key players then you may really enjoy the book, but there may be others out there that do a better job. "

" This book is a bit "He said, she said" but really quite revealing. The basic disregard for the intelligence experts by the administration is the core of this book, and to see it spelled out so clearly and sourced so thoroughly reminds us why Bush's approval ratings fell so far. "

" This is a great and very detailed account of the intelligence failures of the Bush Administration leading up to the war as well as a step by step time line of where, when and how. I don't think anyone reading this book can ignore the complete and udder arrogance this administration processes, and well as their complete failure and attempts to hide that failure. "

" Not much new here, but a compelling read nonetheless. "

" This book has a definite liberal bias, but all in all it's a good summary of how the American people got snookered, if you will, into the second Iraq war. And now, after the fact, what's done is done and it is what it is. It is insightful to know how we got where we are, though. "

" Disturbing. More disturbing. Proof that 'where there's a will, there's a way'. Damn. "

" Puts a lot of stuff I already know in a deeper - and horrifying - context. "

" Much like Woodward's books of late, I'm thoroughly enjoying this, but it's also making me a little ill. "

" The real problem with books like this, no matter how well crafted, is how it builds one's cynicism toward national leadership in general "

" You have to really want to finish this thing... "

" assholes. kinda repetitive. infuriatin' too. these fuckers got some 'splainin' to do when they get in fronta god. "

" I always get this one confused with 'Fiasco.' "

" Richard Armatage was the outer of Valerie Phlame. George Bush probably really believed there were WMDs in Iraq but it didn't really matter to him anyway. Dick Cheney and Carl Rove are really dangerous people who don't listen to facts. "

" Wanting to know more about how and why Bush's team took us to war in Iraq, this treatise fills the bill. Some of the detail(s) probably were more than I needed. "

" Excellent reporting tied together by a compelling narrative. A cautionary account of what can happen when the ruthless and dishonest lead the incurious. "

" 956.7044 I The title tells it all. Written by two well known journalists. What was interesting is that Isikoff leans right and Corn is liberal. "

" Required reading for anyone who voted for Bush, or wants to offer his/her opinion of the war. "

" I find Isikoff very detailed yet easy to follow. "

" What a bunch of fibbers. "

" Really hard to ignore that the author is one of the many reasons the war was successfully sold by the mainstream media to the American public. "

" Can you guess just how far the right will go? "

" when i read this book i stopped hating George bush as much as i did before, politics in America is a lot more complicated than i thought. but 80% more honest and in favor of the public. "

" Excellent! great audio book. long, but totally worth it. "

" While a little depressing, Hubris was a really fast read. It's almost 19 hours long, but it really flew by. It reads kind of like a suspense novel with so much deceit and backstabbing. "

" A very irritating book. Irritating because of its content, not for any other reason. Well researched and written. We were lied to and led into a war we should never have fought. "

" Excellent! great audio book. long, but totally worth it. "

" Looking for validation of how angry you are at the Bush White House... STILL. This'll get your dander up. "

" I find Isikoff very detailed yet easy to follow. "

" I don't care what side of the political aisle one might be in. You have to read this book. Our government lied to us in so many ways it will startle you. We cant allow any administration to have this much control of the entire system. George Bush was technically King for 8 years "

" Can you guess just how far the right will go? "
