What Happened: Inside the Bush White House and Washington's Culture of Deception | |
Scott McClellan was one of a few Bush loyalists from Texas who became part of his inner circle of trusted advisers, and remained so during one of the most challenging and contentious periods of recent history. Drawn to Bush by his commitment to compassionate conservatism and strong bipartisan leadership, McClellan served the president for more than seven years, and witnessed day-to-day exactly how the presidency veered off course.
In this refreshingly clear-eyed book, written with no agenda other than to record his experiences and insights for the benefit of history, McClellan provides unique perspective on what happened and why it happened the way it did, including the Iraq war, Hurricane Katrina, Washington's bitter partisanship, and two hotly-contested presidential campaigns. He gives readers a candid look into who George W. Bush is and what he believes, and into the personalities, strengths, and liabilities of his top aides. Finally, McClellan looks to the future, exploring the lessons this presidency offers the American people as we prepare to elect a new leader.
作者简介 Scott McClellan served as White House press secretary from 2003 to 2006.

Earlier in his career, Mr. McClellan served as deputy communications director in the Texas governor's office and campaign manager for three successful statewide campaigns. He is now a senior adviser to a global technology firm and communications strategist. Born in Austin, Texas, he now lives near Washington, D.C.

“Once smoke clears, McClellan will be seen as a true patriot.”^Associated Press, June 20, 2008
“McClellan has burned the talking points — and his bridges — in writing this book, and the results are a more sophisticated assessment than most anything his former colleagues turned out. What Happened provides a telling and unflattering glimpse of Bush and his White House, also makes an important commentary on Washington's poisonous political climate — one that Bush promised to change, but did not, McClellan writes.”
