Second Chance

Second Chance: Three Presidents and the Crisis of American Superpower

Read this book if you want a look into the mind of a foreign policy adviser.
The most interesting quote in the book is on page 143 and deals with getting into a war with Iraq. It was recorded by a Tony Blair foreign policy adviser. Bush "actually toyed with the idea of staging a deliberate military provocation in order to precipitate a casus belli." In other words a false flag attack. Like perhaps 9-11.
He also claim that even during the Cold War when a nuclear war could have happened that "American leaders did not propagate fear as a means of sustaining national determination. Perhaps he forgot about the drill that had school children hiding under their desks.
The book is a good look into the mind of a key presidential adviser. It shows his duplicity.
