Description
A New York Times and Washington Post Notable Book, this book is a detailed investigation into the decades-long relationship between the United States and Saddam Hussein, and the events leading up to the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Steve Coll's masterful analysis untangles the complex web of politics, power, and geopolitics that led to the war, and for the first time, reveals America's fundamental miscalculations during its relationship with Saddam Hussein. The result is a voluminously researched and compulsively readable account that sheds new light on one of the costliest geopolitical conflicts of our time.
