Tony Blair and George Bush may have won the war in Iraq, but theyare losing the peace at home. How did Blair come to support theUS-led invasion of Iraq? Why did he risk taking Britain into aconflict which so imperilled his premiership? Was he justified indoing so? These are just some of the questions which David Coates and JoelKrieger seek to answer in Blair’s War – the mostauthoritative and complete record of the conflict to date. Writtenby two of the most experienced and perceptive observers of Britishpolitics and New Labour, the book explains how his stalwartcommitment to stand ‘shoulder to shoulder’ with Americaafter 9/11 trapped Blair in a tragic logic that took the UK to warin Iraq. It reveals how Blair was bushwhacked into exaggerating theIraqi threat, seduced away from New Labour’s ethical foreignpolicy, and drawn into Bush’s imperial campaign.Blair’s War blows a hole through each of thejustifications for war and offers a detailed, original andcompelling set of proposals to return the UK to an ethical foreignpolicy. With an exquisite sense of the unfolding drama and an eye fordetail, the authors develop the arguments for and against the warand, with unerring fairness, test each argument against the recordof what was known, what was suspected, and what was misrepresented.The book provides a unique perspective on this latest unsettlingturn in the ‘special relationship’, and is essentialreading for voters on both sides of the Atlantic, who must soondetermine the political fates of both the President and PrimeMinister.

For many politicians, power seems to go to their head, and becomes a heady drug affecting every action they take. The Greeks called it hubris, where the hero wins glory, acclaim and success - but it is often followed by nemesis. David Owen suggests George Bush and Tony Blair developed a Hubristic Syndrome while in power. He provides a powerful analysis, looking at their behaviour, beliefs and governing style, in particular the nature of their hubristic incompetence in handling the Iraq War. Both of them, and in her last year in office, Margaret Thatcher, developed many of the tell-tale and defining symptoms. A statesman, politician and medical doctor, with personal knowledge of the war in the Balkans, David Owen has unique insight into Blair's premiership, including several meetings and conversations with Blair from 1996-2004.

In the wake of the publication of the Chilcot report, this book reinterprets the relationship between British public opinion and the Blair government’s decision-making in the run-up to the 2003 invasion of Iraq. It highlights how the government won the parliamentary vote and got its war, but never won the argument that it was the right thing to do. Understanding how, why and with what consequences Britain wound up in this position means understanding better both this specific case and the wider issue of how democratic publics influence foreign policy processes. Taking an innovative constructivist approach to understanding how public actors potentially influence foreign policy, Strong frames the debate about Iraq as a contest over legitimacy among active public actors, breaking it down into four constituent elements covering the necessity, legality and morality of war, and the government’s authority. The book presents a detailed empirical account of the British public debate before the invasion of Iraq based on the rigorous interrogation of thousands of primary sources, employing both quantitative and qualitative content analysis methods to interpret the shape of debate between January 2002 and March 2003. Also contributing to the wider foreign policy analysis literature, the book investigates the domestic politics of foreign policy decision-making, and particularly the influence public opinion exerts; considers the domestic structural determinants of foreign policy decision-making; and studies the ethics of foreign policy decision-making, and the legitimate use of force. It will be of great use to students and scholars of foreign policy analysis, as well as those interested in legitimacy in international conflict, British foreign policy, the Iraq War and the role of public opinion in conflict situations.

Going to War with Iraq: A Comparative History of the Bush Presidencies is the account of two United States presidents and their decision to intervene militarily in Iraq, examining the comparative domestic and international contexts in which the decisions to go to war were made by George H. W. Bush and his son George W. Bush. This book centers specifically on the issue of Saddam Hussein at home and abroad, in the lead up to hostilities with Iraq in 1991 and 2003, respectively. For George H.W. Bush, in 1991, the threat posed by Saddam came from his perceived capabilities as Iraq's leader, whereas for George W. Bush, in 2003, it was the threat posed by Saddam's perceived intentions as Iraq's leader. In both cases, the result was war with Iraq.

One of BookPage's Best Books of 2020 “The detailed, nuanced, gripping account of that strange and complex journey offered in Robert Draper’s To Start a War: How the Bush Administration Took America Into Iraq is essential reading—now, especially now . . . Draper’s account [is] one for the ages . . . A must-read for all who care about presidential power.” —The Washington Post From the author of the New York Times bestseller Dead Certain comes the definitive, revelatory reckoning with arguably the most consequential decision in the history of American foreign policy--the decision to invade Iraq. Even now, after more than fifteen years, it is hard to see the invasion of Iraq through the cool, considered gaze of history. For too many people, the damage is still too palpable, and still unfolding. Most of the major players in that decision are still with us, and few of them are not haunted by it, in one way or another. Perhaps it's that combination, the passage of the years and the still unresolved trauma, that explains why so many protagonists opened up so fully for the first time to Robert Draper. Draper's prodigious reporting has yielded scores of consequential new revelations, from the important to the merely absurd. As a whole, the book paints a vivid and indelible picture of a decision-making process that was fatally compromised by a combination of post-9/11 fear and paranoia, rank naïveté, craven groupthink, and a set of actors with idées fixes who gamed the process relentlessly. Everything was believed; nothing was true. The intelligence failure was comprehensive. Draper's fair-mindedness and deep understanding of the principal actors suffuse his account, as does a storytelling genius that is close to sorcery. There are no cheap shots here, which makes the ultimate conclusion all the more damning. In the spirit of Barbara Tuchman's The Guns of August and Marc Bloch's Strange Defeat, To Start A War will stand as the definitive account of a collective process that arrived at evidence that would prove to be not just dubious but entirely false, driven by imagination rather than a quest for truth--evidence that was then used to justify a verdict that led to hundreds of thousands of deaths and a flood tide of chaos in the Middle East that shows no signs of ebbing.

The G and T Defense makes the following controversial yet well-supported claims: - George W Bush and Tony Blair are responsible for saving many more lives in the world than for taking them. - The Afghanistan and Iraq wars of 2001 and 2003 were justified and necessary at the time. The real and obvious war criminals were Osama bin Laden, Mullah Omar, Saddam Hussein and Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. - The hysterical and widespread accusations of "lies" and dishonesty against Bush and Blair are unjustified. - The casualties and prolonged conflict in Iraq were caused almost entirely by fanatical, fundamentalist extremists, and not by western powers. - The Abu Ghraib scandal was horrific, but needs to be put firmly into context. - Fallujah was no Guernica. "Oil" was no cause. - The hysterical reaction by much of the Western media to the 2003 Iraq war has led to dangerous "self-loathing" in the West, reinforced by moral equivalence. - Bush and Blair are more deserving of the Nobel Prize than Barack Obama.

Peter Riddell turns his attention to the curious relationship between Tony Blair and George W. Bush in what is certain to be one of the best-selling political books of 2003. Placing Blair and Bush in the context of Anglo-American relations throughout history, Riddell traces their relationship from its early tensions, through 9/11 and the war in Afghanistan and onto Blair's apparent subservience to Bush over Iraq. He discovers a complex and often bizarre relationship rooted in a failed British foreign policy that will soon be forced to choose between America and Europe.
