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.

Scott McClellan was one of a few Bush loyalists from Texas who became part of his inner circle of trusted advisers, and remained so during one of the most challenging and contentious periods of recent history. Drawn to Bush by his commitment to compassionate conservatism and strong bipartisan leadership, McClellan served the president for more than seven years, and witnessed day-to-day exactly how the presidency veered off course.

In this refreshingly clear-eyed book, written with no agenda other than to record his experiences and insights for the benefit of history, McClellan provides unique perspective on what happened and why it happened the way it did, including the Iraq war, Hurricane Katrina, Washington's bitter partisanship, and two hotly contested presidential campaigns. He gives readers a candid look into who George W. Bush is and what he believes, and into the personalities, strengths, and liabilities of his top aides. Finally, McClellan looks to the future, exploring the lessons this presidency offers the American people as we prepare to elect a new leader.
