In the bestselling book that provoked a media sensation, former White House press secretary Scott McClellan takes readers behind the scenes of the presidency of George W. Bush.
McClellan belonged to Bush’s select inner circle of trusted advisors during one of the most challenging and contentious periods of recent history. Over a period of more than seven years, he
witnessed day-to-day exactly how the presidency veered off course: not only by its decision to topple Saddam Hussein but by an embrace of confrontational politics in the face of an increasingly
partisan Washington and hostile media.
In this refreshingly clear-eyed book, McClellan provides unique perspective on what happened and why it happened the way it did, including the Iraq war, Hurricane Katrina, and two hotly contested
presidential campaigns. He gives readers a candid look into who George W. Bush is and what he believes and explores the lessons this presidency offers the American people as we look to the future.
Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“We already know What Happened, but it feels good to hear Scott say it.” —New York Times
“The former press secretary of President Bush (No. 43 version) empties out his notebooks, and all of Washington will be holding its breath.” —Seattle Times
“Sophisticated…What Happened provides a telling and unflattering glimpse of Bush and his White House and also makes an important commentary on Washington’s poisonous political climate—one that Bush promised to change but did not.” —Associated Press
“A Rosetta Stone for understanding the last seven years.” —Keith Olbermann
“It was the exact right choice to have President Bush’s former White House press secretary read his own book…McClellan’s a professional and speaks clearly and with conviction. We believe him…Is he a great actor or no actor at all?...The drama of that question makes this timely book a thrilling piece of audio.” —AudioFile
