Product Description
Denial and Deception: A Study of the Bush Administration's Rhetorical Case for Invading Iraq delivers a refreshingly objective snapshot of the relationship between President George W. Bush's misleading statements, public opinion, and the war in Iraq. Using statistical analysis, Alan Kennedy-Shaffer presents the first academic study of President Bush's efforts to bully the nation into invading Iraq and why the White House no longer controls public opinion. By mapping the major rhetorical and military developments in the war in Iraq, Kennedy-Shaffer paint a contextual picture of the Administration's rhetoric and the impact of casualty rates on public opinion. This book is essential reading for every scholar of presidential rhetoric and public opinion in an era of denial and deception by the President of the United States.

Fantastic! July 18, 2006

This intriguing book was superb, and I recommend it to all people interested in political science and the Bush Administration. This book is clearly free from prejudice and approaches the issue with a fresh, frank, academic approach. All evidence is clearly cited and statements of trends and correlations are fully backed up by almost 40 figures and tables. This book relates public opinion, polls, and the Iraq situation. Despite the in-depth research and citations, the book was quite interesting and easy to read. Democrats, Republicans, and Independents would all be interested in this fascinating academic study!
