Reviews

This controversial book analyzes the issues surrounding the motivation, conduct, and outcome of the 2nd American war in Iraq. It will form a lasting addition to the growing literature on what we actually know (as opposed to what we have been told) about our sorry adventure in Iraq.

Pelletiere’s analysis of the role of the Kurds in recent Middle East conflicts reminds us that when foreign policy is developed in secret by people associated with powerful and aggressive private interests (oil, neocons, the Establishment), the resulting policy benefits only those interests, or no one.
