His new book, <EM><A href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http:%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fgp%2Fproduct%2F0060899735&tag=pajamasmedia-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=9325">War and Decision: Inside the Pentagon at the Dawn of the War on Terrorism,</A></EM><IMG width="1" height="1" border="0" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=pajamasmedia-20&l=ur2&o=1" /> looks at the response to the 9/11 attacks, the invasion of Afghanistan, and most significantly the Iraq war and its aftermath. Feith’s book is copiously documented, and he’s also made a lot of his documents available on his <A href="http://waranddecision.com/">website.</A> But the book, though selling well online, hasn’t gotten the kind of Big Media attention you’d expect.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://pajamasmedia.com/blog/the-glenn-and-helen-show-douglas-feith/">We talk to him about the war, the Bush Administration, the media, and whether the American political class is up to dealing with matters of national security.
