Features: Ron Suskind's statements are well-supported by evidence: he has provided as many as 19,000 government documents and meeting records covering various aspects of American domestic and foreign policies, and these facts are also corroborated by interviews with numerous officials of the current administration in this book. Therefore, in terms of revealing the inner workings of an unfinished government, this book has an unprecedented breadth and depth. This sensational work takes readers into the core of the U.S. government, allowing us to clearly see the qualities and actions of Bush and his advisors in handling key domestic policies and global strategies, as well as in critical crisis moments. The book's "unfettered" description makes readers feel as if they are among the key figures in the current U.S. political scene—Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice, Powell, and Federal Reserve Chairman Greenspan. At the same time, the book provides insights into many recent major events in the U.S. and around the world, revealing the motivations often hidden beneath specific actions, allowing readers to clearly see some of the important conflicts within the current Bush administration's management. Paul O'Neill, the first Treasury Secretary of the Bush administration, ensured the vividness, uniqueness, and accuracy of the book's narrative with his straightforward and sincere statements. During the first two years of Bush's presidency, O'Neill served as the highest-ranking economic official and one of the key members of the National Security Council, assisting the new president. Among the core members of the Bush administration, only O'Neill, after his resignation, revealed the true situation within the White House.
