- Summary
- "Tough Sell: Fighting the Media War in Iraq" takes readers on the behind-the-scenes rollercoaster ride of Tom Basile's time as a civilian adviser to the Coalition Provisional Authority in Iraq during the War or Terror.
- Basile takes readers on the behind-the-scenes rollercoaster ride of his time as a civilian adviser to the Coalition Provisional Authority in Iraq during the War or Terror. In describing his mission and the struggle to communicate about the war as it became more deadly and less popular at home, it became clear that warfare was now a blend of policy, politics, and the business of journalism. Here Basile critiques the media's reporting and assesses the Bush administration's home-front communications strategy. He argues that if policymakers fail to articulate their strategy and counter misinformation, they will find themselves unable to execute that policy.
