Iraq Confidential

The Untold Story of the Intelligence Conspiracy to Undermine the UN and Overthrow Saddam Hussein

Scott Ritter
March 2007     ISBN: 1560258527


New in Paperback

Scott Ritter and his team were determined to find out the truth about Iraq's WMD. The CIA was equally determined to stop them. The truth, as we now know, is that Iraq actually had no WMD. But this information would have derailed America's drive for regime change.

Iraq Confidential conveys the disillusionment of a patriot who came to realize 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, M16 and the CIA pepper this powerful narrative, which contains revelations that will have an enduring impact on the ongoing debates about Iraq.
