Imperial America: The Bush Assault on the World Order by John Newhouse

Imperial America: The Bush Assault on the World Order by John Newhouse this is a history of Bush policy missteps from the beginning of the administration through 03. There's coverage of the run-up to the Iraq war, Iran, Russia and the North Korean nuclear program. The book contains probably the clearest explanation of the history of the North Korean policy debate that I've come across. Newhouse actually goes back to the 1990s and Clinton administration. I'm pretty well-connected to current events and recent history but even I learned some things from the book.

Highly recommended!
