The Story: A Reporter's Journey
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
In The Story, Judy Miller turns her journalistic skills on herself and her controversial reporting, which marshaled evidence that led America to invade Iraq. She writes about the mistakes she and others made on the existence in Iraq of weapons of mass destruction. She addresses the motives of some of her sources, including the notorious Iraqi Chalabi and the CIA. She describes going to jail to protect her sources in the Scooter Libby investigation of the outing of CIA agent Valerie Plame and how the Times subsequently abandoned her after twenty-eight years.
Judy Miller grew up near the Nevada atomic proving ground. She got a job at The New York Times after a suit by women employees about discrimination at the paper and went on to cover national politics, head the paper's bureau in Cairo, and serve as deputy editor in Paris and then deputy at the powerful Washington bureau. She reported on terrorism and the rise of fanatical Islam in the Middle East and on secret biological weapons plants and programs in Iraq, Iran, and Russia. Miller shared a Pulitzer for her reporting. She describes covering terrorism in Lebanon, being embedded in Iraq, and going inside Russia's secret laboratories where scientists concocted designer germs and killer diseases and watched the failed search for WMDs in Iraq.
The Story vividly describes the real life of a foreign and investigative reporter. It is an account filled with adventure, told with bluntness and wryness.

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

Miller, a former New York Times reporter whose pre-war articles on Iraqi WMDs generated fierce controversy, ponders what she didâand, mostly, didn'tâget wrong in this contentious memoir. Miller defends news articles she wrote in 2002â3 that suggested that Saddam Hussein's Iraq might have had active nuclear and biological weapons programs (it didn't), arguing that her stories were well-researched and sourced, hedged with caveats, reflective of a genuine (though mistaken) consensus of intelligence experts, and balanced by more skeptical pieces. She also gives an engrossing run-down of the 2005 "Plame-gate" scandal, when she was jailed for refusing to testify about confidential Bush Administration source Scooter Libby (she finally did so after getting his consent).Miller makes a cogent case that she was unfairly scapegoated as a warmonger and White House dupe, setting that argument in a lively, sharp-elbowed narrative of hair-raising adventures as a Middle East correspondent and in the snake-pit of NYT office politics. Still, when she describes her beat as "what the Bush Administration knew, or thought it knew, about Iraqi WMD," she inadvertently reveals a too-narrow perspective common to many journalists then.
