Based on years of meticulous research and exclusive interviews with key players, Hersh reveals how the Bush administration used the September 11 attacks as a pretext to launch a preemptive war against Iraq, which was motivated not by a threat to national security, but by a desire to control the country's vast oil reserves.

Hersh documents how Vice President Dick Cheney, a former oil executive, played a central role in shaping the administration's energy policy, which favored the interests of his former employer, Halliburton, over the national interest.

The book also exposes the role of the Cheney family's close ties to the Saudi royal family, which played a key role in securing U.S. support for the invasion of Iraq.

Hersh's explosive revelations shed new light on the origins of the Iraq War and its devastating consequences, including the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians and the destabilization of the entire Middle East.

Blood for Oil and The Cheney-Bush Junta is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the hidden forces that have shaped American foreign policy in the Middle East, and the devastating consequences of those policies for the people of the region.
