Summary
This thoroughly researched account is an Arab's viewpoint of how the West was maneuvered into fueling Saddam's and Iraq's rise to power in the Middle East. It casts new light on key events that have not been fully explored by the media, and reveals intelligence documents that show how the U.S. was caught unprepared for war despite clear warning signals from the CIA and the international intelligence community.
