Synopsis
In this Washington, D.C., tell-all, Scott McClellan, the former White House spokesperson in the George W. Bush administration, presents a surprisingly scathing critique of his former boss and his policies. A Bush loyalist, McClellan always defended the president with vigor before the White House press corps. In WHAT HAPPENED, however, he sketches a portrait of a president who politicized the war and who is steadfastly unable to see his mistakes and admit to them. And McClellan himself writes that there were times he was "misled" about events, including the Scooter Libby affair. In telling tales out of school, McClellan pulls aside the curtain, revealing the inner workings of the Bush administration.
