This insider's view of the George W. Bush administration draws heavily (but not solely) on former Secretary of the Treasury Paul O'Neill as a source. O'Neill, who was asked to step down by Bush in 2002, offers several damning allegations that made headlines upon this book's publication--including charges that Bush was not intellectually engaged at cabinet meetings and that the Bush team had actually made regime change in Iraq one of the first items on its agenda upon assuming office in 2001. A New York Times Notable Book for 2004.

Industry reviews
"[T]he news-cycle controversies have obscured the book's central, and important, thesis....What enriches THE PRICE OF LOYALTY, aside form the accretion of persuasive detail, is its assertion that in this administration, a time-honored notion of public service has been deeply corrupted....[W]hether O'Neill was a brilliant Treasury secretary or a mediocre one, he did regard the public trust as a sacred matter, and the case THE PRICE OF LOYALTY makes about the debasement of the policy process is a strong one." New York Times Book Review - Michael Tomasky (02/01/2004)
"...Mr. Suskind's book...provides an invaluable contribution both to the historical record and to the fierce public debate over the nature of the Bush administration's true views and motivations on issues of war and peace." New York Times - Katrina Vanden Heuvel (02/04/2004)
"[A] detailed, deeply disturbing look at how the Bush administration makes policy....[A] devastating portrait of Bush policymaking...." New York Review of Books - Paul Krugman (02/26/2004)
