Synopses & Reviews
It was supposed to be quick, easy, and cheap: the Bush
administration promised American taxpayers that Iraqi oil
revenues would pay for it all. But thousands of lives and
billions of dollars later, the Iraqi reconstruction is an
undeniable failure, overrun by staggering corruption, waste,
and incompetence. In BLOOD MONEY, top-flight
investigative reporter (Mother Jones) T. Christian Miller
reveals how the Bush administration failed to keep its
promises and allowed a nation to tumble into chaos. Widely
hailed as one of the most important books about the
quagmire, BLOOD MONEY is essential reading for anyone
who cares about the fate of Iraq, and about America's place
in the world.
