It's an e-book for now, not a traditional book. If you have a Kindle, a tablet or a computer, you can get it if you wish to.
 
Book description:

As the violence and mayhem in the shattered nation of Iraq once again makes headlines, the George W. Bush-era authors of that nation's ongoing war have taken to the airwaves and the editorial pages in an effort to distance themselves from the carnage and misery their actions have wrought. While they desperately attempt to shove their culpability away from themselves and into the lap of the administration which inherited their folly, The Mass Destruction of Iraq sets the record straight.
 
In this book, Truthout writers William Rivers Pitt and Dahr Jamail provide the definitive history of what happened to Iraq, why it happened and who is responsible. From Pitt's early reporting on the ultimate motivations behind the Iraq invasion, to Jamail's unembedded reporting from Iraq as the occupation ground on, to the detailed breakdown of every lie we were told to justify this war, and the serial naming of those who had a hand in it, this book is the period at the end of a long, bleeding sentence.
 
This is why it happened, and this is who is responsible.

Lots of primitive comments, but they're all kissing ass, saying nothing of substance.

I wonder if his new co-author is as big of a pedophile as the first co-author? Inquiring minds want to know.

Hi5. Thats the first thing I thought of.

Cliff note version.  Bush's fault.  The end.

Yep, like the Boston Drunkard's other "books," the penny saver for which he writes, the liberal pol sites, and the LW blogosphere itself, this is tailored to a target audience who will be told what they want to believe anyway.

Oh good it's finished.  Now you can write one called "The Mass Destruction of Libya", and next year "The Mass Destruction of Afghanistan", then in 2016 you can write "The Mass Destruction of the United States".

It's an e-book for now, not a traditional book.

In other words, DUmmy Jane can no longer afford to pay a vanity publisher.

Buying Pitt's "e-book" would be like paying to download an issue of nadin's San Diego blog.

Synopsis: things would be so much better if Saddam were still around.

143 pages, published by Truthout, ranked #1,488 on Amazon

Congrats, Pitt, you finally broke into the top 2,000.

BTW, check out the review by KP:

"I tried to read this book and it was frankly, not very interesting. There are many good books about this subject but this is not one of them. A very lazy, cobbled together effort."

Since he's associated with the Bostonian Drunkard, he's probably got something dubious in his character or background.

Maybe, probably, not that, but something.

I wonder how they plan to split the proceeds; the Bostonian Drunkard had counted on getting most of the revenues himself, from the book he co-wrote with Scott Ritter--after all, the Bostonian Drunkard had written a whopping 16% of that book--but apparently the former arms inspector walked away with all of it.

Which probably explains why the Bostonian Drunkard so cowardly refused to support his former collaborator in his time of troubles; never put in a single word for him.

1.0 out of 5 stars
Discredit where discredit is due
August 12, 2014
By David Hannah

How does one condense 1300 years of religious strife, 100 years of geopolitics, five presidencies, and two wars into 143 pages? William Rivers Pitt knows: Each page contains two words in really large text: BLAME BUSH. If this "book" was available in print, it would come with a pack of crayons. The Kindle reader is cautioned to resist the urge to use crayons on the screen while reading "The Mass Destruction of Iraq".

The author, William Rivers Pitt, was discredited in 2006 for a false report involving GOP operative Karl Rove and Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald. Who could forget "Fitzmas"? The co-author of his last anti-Bush effort, Scott Ritter, was sent to prison for attempting to solicit sex from minors. Pitt also enjoys a small measure of notoriety for threatening a homeless woman at the website www.democratunderground.com.

Caveat emptor.

That one's gonna leave a mark.

He'll try to get it removed, BD.

According to Amazon, his magnum opus is ranked #12,665 among all Kindle Store sales, just below “Does God Love Michael’s Two Daddies?” by Sheila K. Butt.

[JakeStyle]

it's just more of the same alcohol fueled garbage that he has been spewing on democraticunderground,

This review is from: The Mass Destruction of Iraq: The Disintegration of a Nation: Why It Is Happening, and Who Is Responsible (Kindle Edition)

William Rivers Pitt is to journalism, as garlic is to vampires. He has no ethics, he can't be bothered to check his sources, he gets his information from far-left websites and then he exaggerates and fabricates it to suit his agenda. Don't buy his latest pamphlet, it's just more of the same alcohol fueled garbage that he has been spewing on democraticunderground.com for years.

Wow, someone has him nailed.

6. Cool beans! Bummer I don't do e-books

Nevertheless I look forward to the spirited discussions in the customer review section. Some of the cleverest, best written rants on the Internets are found at amazon; you'll discover you have a ton of allies covering your six when the idiot shit stirring detractors arrive.

The DUmmies had better assemble the team of allies because the Boston Drunk's six is currently exposed and getting its shit stirred.

[JakeStyle]

The poor guy, I hope he doesn't drink himself to sleep and choke on his own vomit.  It would be such a shame.

Jimi Hendrix and John Bonham were a shame.  Pitt will just be a statistic.

I'm not surprised that Pitt is in that position; he always struck me as a power bottom.

[JakeStyle]

The power bottom is expected to generate an enormous amount of power, thus the name.  I know this from watching It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia.

I would have been happy to have gone the rest of my life without knowing that, Jake.
