      abstract = {It was the kind of story any news producer would love to  report, nail down and get on the air. And that's just what  Mary Mapes and her team did in September, 2004, when they  aired their report on President George W. Bush's  dereliction of his National Guard duty for CBS News. The  firestorm that followed trashed Mapes' career, caused Dan  Rather to resign from his anchor chair a year early, and  led to an unprecedented "internal inquiry" into the story.  This book is Mapes' account of the often-surreal,  always-harrowing fallout she experienced for raising  questions about a powerful sitting president. It answers  questions about the solidity of the documents at the heart  of the National Guard story as well as where they came  from. This is an account of how the public's right to  know--or even to ask questions--is being attacked by an  alliance of politicians, news organizations, bloggers and  corporate America.--From publisher description.},
