The path to the Iraq war emerged in the immediate aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Among its many effects, 9/11 transformed the Bush presidency, providing the president with a global mission that he was determined to define for the world and pursue aggressively. President Bush’s plan would be not just to remove Saddam from power, but replace him with a democracy. THE ROAD TO WAR will explain how the President came to make his decision and the steps he took to accomplish his mission. From classified meetings to public speeches, we’ll hear the intimate details from those who were there. In candid interviews, senior Bush Administration officials Andy Card, Richard Armitage, Mary Matalin, and others describe the journey of President Bush and the cast of Beltway titans who supported him along the way.
