When You Have to Go to Prison
The Way of the World has some interesting stuff about the Bush administration's deceptions around the Iraq war, but those parts are buried in a sea of mushy personal narratives of private individuals impacted by the 'war on terror'. The point of all these stories is, I think, to show that the only way for the US to win an ideological struggle is to live up to its own ideology. Which is a good point, but could have been made far more succinctly.
Individual stories can be a compelling way to illustrate a universal thesis. But that thesis must still be established with facts. This book, however, contains few facts: no numbers, no statistics, no trends, just a collection of anecdotes, and even those must be taken on faith, since Suskind provides no explanation of how he knows the details of these private meetings, clandestine conversations and inner monologues.
Like that other quintessential Washington insider, Thomas Friedman, Suskind believes that we should take his anecdotes at face value, even when he offers no proof of their veracity and no wider context in which to place them.
Meh.
