...administration’s response to last year’s terrorist attacks. The book, which reveals the administration’s trial-and-error approach to the war against terrorism, feels like a rough draft of some final, more complete version.

Dean, whose incriminating Senate testimony led President Nixon to call him a traitor, has twice before proffered theories on the shadowy source--naming Watergate prosecutor Earl Silbert and Nixon White House chief of staff Alexander Haig, both of whom denied it. In his latest attempt, Dean...
