by Christian AlfonsiFrom the publisher:
Essential to understanding the roots of one of the worst foreign policy disasters in American history, Circle in the Sand is a revelation-filled account that exposes the troubling links between the two Bush presidencies and their wars in Iraq. Drawing on hundreds of never-before-revealed White House documents, as well as interviews with top officials from both Bush administrations, Christian Alfonsi paints a devastating new portrait of the Bush dynasty.
“Not until Circle in the Sand has such a powerful light been thrown on the missing link in the chain of events that led from the first Gulf War to the second. . . . Riveting.” — Bill Moyers
“An eye-opener. . . . A retelling of the 1990-91 Gulf crisis with the benefit of new documents and on-the-record interviews with senior officials then and now. . . . Plenty of juicy tidbits about the once and future Bushies.” — The Washington Post Book World
“Dramatically illustrates how decisions made [in 1991] foreshadowed the war in Iraq waged by the current Bush administration. . . . Illuminating.” — Booklist (starred review)
“Circle in the Sand could as well be called ‘debacle in the sand.’ It goes to the heart of a national tragedy–how two generations of Bush family mismanagement and inept strategy in Iraq may have doomed early-21st century American policy in the Middle East.” — Kevin Phillips, author of American Theocracy
