Editorial Review: Product Description: In this refreshingly clear-eyed book, written with no agenda other than to record his experiences and insights for the benefit of history, McClellan provides a unique perspective on what happened and why it happened the way it did, including the Iraq war, Hurricane Katrina, Washington's bitter partisanship, and two hotly contested presidential campaigns.

Rating: - Bush White House ScandalThe book is interesting and thoughtful, but does not share much that we don't already know via assumptions and speculation. Still, if you're interested in certain Washington character flaws and evasiveness, it's worth a read. Rating: - Scott McClellan - What HappenedThis is a good book. Its not always an easy read (it can be tedious at points) but I'd say it was well worth reading, to get the inside scoop I think Scott is kinder to Bush than he deserves, considering the facts laid out in the recent Bugliosi book The Prosecution of George W Bush For Murder |
