Iraq Lie

“Centered on the fundamental illness of Washington: the absence of accountability by our leaders. Hoeffel calls for both the political courage and transparency needed for Congress to focus on facts, not political expediencies. He leaves us with an awareness that even in a decision to take our nation to war, Diogenes continues to carry his lantern.” – Former Congressman and retired Admiral Joe Sestak, (D-PA) “Correspondence”
“Congressman Hoeffel offers a candid, unsparing insider’s account of one of the most consequential Congressional votes in modern history - the fateful decision to authorize war with Iraq. This wrenching and detailed assessment of the misleading case presented to the American people provides an important new perspective on the rush to invade Iraq.” – House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, (D-CA) “Correspondence”
“This very important book will make readers understand that dedicated and intelligent Members of Congress - like author Hoeffel - thought their vote on the Iraq War was right but with hindsight are willing to admit the vote was wrong and analyze why it was wrong. If we can’t learn from history - we are doomed to repeat it.” – Former House Minority Leader Dick Gephardt, (D-MO) “Correspondence”
