Summary:
Some have called it the CIA's greatest covert operation of all time--an intelligence war conducted behind the scenes, aimed at confusing, misleading, and ultimately defeating the enemy. The goal is nothing less than toppling the regime in power. And the target of this vast, sophisticated CIA operation? George W. Bush. Drawing on exclusive information from senior government officials, intelligence operatives, and many others, investigative reporter Timmerman provides the full, untold story of the sabotage that occurs behind the scenes at key government agencies like the CIA and State Department--and the profound effect it has on America's ability to confront its most dangerous enemies. He also exposes the Democratic politicians who have sold out America's national security for political gain.--From publisher description.
