Journalists are tasked with providing key information to the public, especially on the complicated political situation in the Middle East. Miller's reporting for the New York Times on suspected weapons of mass destruction (WMD) in Iraq influenced American opinion and policy, and the mistakes the journalist made had consequences for both the United States and her career. Here Miller offers her version of her acrimonious parting with the Times in the context of her 27-year history with the paper. She served in the Washington Bureau, covered the Middle East, was a member of a Pulitzer Prize-winning team, and served jail time to protect sources related to the outing of CIA agent Valerie Plame. Interweaving the personal and professional, the author exposes the inner workings of the paper along with the stresses of investigative reporting and its impact on her relationships. She touches on how issues of gender affected her career, from her hiring to assessments of her character. VERDICT Miller is a controversial figure, and this book is sure to get a lot of attention from her colleagues in the media. General readers will wade through detailed recounting of earlier reporting assignments to focus on the WMD debacle and the Plame controversy.--Judy Solberg, Sacramento, CA
