Iraq Confidential
The Untold Story of America’s Intelligence Conspiracy
Scott Ritter, former US weapons inspector in Iraq.
With an introduction by Seymour Hersh.
From Press Release for this new book:
Scott Ritter is the straight-talking former marine officer whom the CIA wants to silence.
After the 1991 Gulf war Ritter helped lead the UN weapons inspections of Iraq, and found himself at the centre of a dangerous game between the Iraqi and US regimes.
As Ritter reveals in this explosive book, Washington was only ever interested in disarmament as a tool for its own agenda.
Operating in a fog of espionage and counter-espionage, Ritter and his team were determined to find out the truth about Iraq’s WMD. The CIA were equally determined to stop them.
For the truth, we now know, was that Iraq was playing a deadly game of double-bluff, and actually had no WMD. But to have revealed this would have derailed America’s drive for regime change.
Iraq Confidential charts the disillusionment of a staunch patriot who came to realise that his own government sought to undermine effective arms control in the Middle East.
Ritter shows us a world of deceit and betrayal, in which nothing is as it seems.
A host of characters from Mossad, MI6 and the CIA pepper this powerful narrative, which contains revelations that will permanently affect the ongoing debates about Iraq.
