What Happened by Scott McClellan (2008, Hardcover)

I recently purchased this book and am about half way through it and I love it so far. It is very interesting learning things about what has been happening in the white house that we haven't heard of.

bought as a gift for my friend, he was very pleased with my choice and i hope to borrow it soon.he is very involved with the political environment as he lives in dc

i thought it was well written, with just a few mistakes in type. I really enjoyed the print, it was very easy to read, mr. mcclellan tells the real story of a misguided whitehouse in a state of denial. A good book for those who want to know about most of the bush whitehouse..

The book is very popular and a very popular topic. I wanted it in my library and the book was back ordered at many of the book stores, not to mention the price was considerably higher.I received the book in a very few days and inexcellent condition. I will always purchase my books through ebay

There is only so much back stabbing and manipulation the President can do before his inner circle turns on him. Scott McCellan was lied to and comes across in the book as a man who had the type of values that we would want serving in our government. Once he realized he had been played, just as all of us had, leading up to the Iraq war, he did what his conscious dictated. Hat off to the man who risked a lot to write a book about the Presidents betrayal of his inner circle of people. You can imagine how hard it will be for him to find a job after writing this book. What employer would hire someone who rats on their boss. He took a calculated risk. Way to go Scott.

Historians start your engines it's time to figure out in the long run what was good and bad. Knowing more about the permanent campaign and how badly this has hurt out country since the Clinton years is the best thing I am coming away with. There will be hundreds of books eventually written, mostly by scholars long after those involved are alive. Let the party begin with this good read. I hope that this book brings this issue into the mainstream thought process as we pick our next president. I believe what he has to say.

This is and will be the hot book for the summer, perfect timing!

THIS BOOK IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF WHY THIS COUNTRY NEEDS AN OBAMHA/CLINTON TICKET IN NOVEMBER. AFTER 8 YEARS OF LIES WE NEED A CHANGE. MCCAIN IS G.W.B.IN AN OLD MAN DRESS UP KIT. THERE SHOULD BE MORE PEOPLE LIKE SCOTT MCCLELLAN WHO CAN ADMIT WHEN THEY ARE WRONG. GEORGE SHOULD READ THIS BUT YOU KNOW HE CANT READ SO THAT WONT HAPPEN.

I wanted to see what Mcclellan had to say about his time in office. Overall, the book was self-serving. I am not sure that I gained a lot more insight into that era than I already had. In many ways it just reinforced my beliefs. Having said that, I am glad that I bought it.

There is an important lesson to be learned from Scott McClellan's view of the Bush administration, when seen from an historic perspective. About the time Sinclair Lewis was writing "It Can't Happen Here," William Golding was experiencing something that would later lead him to write "Lord of the Flies." The time was 1935 as the Nazis took hold of Germany. According to William Golding, it wasn't so much an evil system that let Nazism take hold of Germany, but the people within that nation who allowed it to happen. Golding's belief was that even in the best of nations, it's the people who have been deciding right and wrong all along. And evil is not solely the byproduct of tyranny, oppression and totalitarianism, but the inner beast of all humankind. William Golding once said, by "looking at systems rather than at people ... a good system with bad men will turn into hell," as quickly as the other way around. And those who don't understand that paradigm will have the chance to witness the results time and again. Scott McClellan tells a story of how one of the greatest Democracies in the world can also run amuck.

I purchased the book to read about what happened inside the Bush Whitehouse. Item received in good condition and in a timely manner. Thanks.

I have only started the book but I am very interested in it. I have heard such good things about it. I am very interested in getting further into the book.
