A must read. Antidote to US bought-and-paid-for press.
Anyone trying to make sense out of the current Iraq crisis will be unable to without this book. Saddam just didn't come out of nowhere. The US and Britain have been playing with middle East leaders for 100 years for control of their oil. Leaders like Saddam are romanced then discarded when it serves the big oil companies' interests. How many times must General Smedly D. Butler - one of the most decorated marines in history - be quoted: "War is a racket" He admits being a stooge for the big corporations, not a purveyor of Democracy. Wake up America. ....CB
