Today the pages of international newspapers are rustling with reports and interviews with the previous US President, George W. Bush, whose autobiography, Decision Points, is out today.
In an interview about the book, Bush defends a variety of decisions that have defined his presidency: the use of waterboarding and other forms of torture both in and out of Guantanamo Bay, his handling of hurricane Katrina and, most significantly, his decision to go to war with Iraq.
Both George W. Bush and Tony Blair, whose autobiography A Journey was released earlier this year, state in their respective books that they still believe they each made the right decision with regards to War in Iraq.
However, Brian Jones, former head of the UK Defence Intelligence Staff’s nuclear, biological and chemical section, believes differently.
In his book, Failing Intelligence, Jones calls on his own experience and knowledge, as well as a variety of leaked documents and expert testimonies given to a series of inquiries - including Chilcot - to examine how and why Tony Blair and George W. Bush deceived their legislatures into believing Iraq was a nuclear threat.
His fascinating book looks behind the political rhetoric to give the unvarnished story of two leaders and the decisions that would change the world.
