A. Hybel & J. Kaufman 
The Bush Administrations and Saddam Hussein 
Deciding on Conflict

The authors present a vital analysis of the foreign policy-making processes of the two Bush administrations prior to the attacks on Iraq. In a thorough comparison, they show how both presidents used historical analogies to evaluate information, relied on instinct to formulate decisions, and drew on moral language to justify their choices.
