A bold, investigative reckoning with the media campaign that dismantled the Bush presidency--and the facts that expose the distortion.
In How the Left Swiftboated America, FOX commentator and bestselling author John Gibson offers the first comprehensive defense of the Bush presidency against its numerous detractors.
The author examines how prominent media figures systematically dismissed intelligence realities, turning the Valerie Plame affair and the 2003 State of the Union address into weapons of partisan attack.
Drawing on declassified records and military reporting, Gibson confronts inflated civilian casualty statistics and details the high-value intelligence gained from enhanced interrogations, documenting how General David Petraeus implemented the troop surge that pacified Baghdad.
In this provocative political work, Gibson explores who was right and who was wrong in taking us into the Iraq War and a host of other issues, arguing that it was the Left that actually lied while claiming to expose the truth.
- American Politics: Gibson investigates the fierce partisan struggles surrounding the 2000 Florida recount, exploring how debates over butterfly ballots and the Supreme Court decision set the tone for eight years of executive conflict.
- Media Commentary: An unsparing analysis details how television personalities such as Jon Stewart and Keith Olbermann amplified political cynicism, turning administration gaffes and intelligence disputes into nightly spectacles.
- US Government: The text documents the administrative fallout of Hurricane Katrina, contrasting local evacuation failures in New Orleans with federal emergency response protocols.
- Current Events: The volume outlines how interrogators questioned high-value detainees like Khalid Sheikh Mohammad, disrupting terrorist plots targeted against domestic landmarks.
- Also by This Author: Hating America.
