| This book is an insider s history of the roots of Saddam Hussein s war, and a maddening indictment of our complicity in it. Egyptian-born Adel Darwish, a Middle East corespondent for The Independent, and his pseudonymous coauthor Gregory Alexander, began Unholy Babylon as a warning to the West about Saddam Hussein s motives and military capabilities. Their warning proved prescient when Saddam invaded Kuwait and the United States went to war. This thoroughly researched and dramatic account is an Arab s viewpoint of how the West was maneuvered into fueling Saddam s and Iraq s rise to power in the Middle East. It casts new light on key events that have not been fully explored by the media, and reveals intelligence documents that show how the U.S. was caught unprepared for war despite clear warning signals from the CIA and the international intelligence community. |
