Rent State of War: The Secret History of the CIA and the Bush Administration

Synopsis

James Risen’s account of policy and power in the George W. Bush administration adds many details to stories already in the press, while introducing shocking new charges, among them that the National Security Agency engaged in domestic surveillance of American citizens. Focusing on the troubled Central Intelligence Agency, Risen exposes several stunningly botched operations, and his portrait of George Tenet shows a director whose priority was "maintaining a strong relationship with the president." Risen also asserts that, prior to the invasion of Iraq, the agency had intelligence indicating that Saddam Hussein had no nuclear program.
