The end of Saddam Husseins Iraq traces the destruction of a strongly secular state that had once been a bulwark against religious fundamentalism and had promised to become a catalyst in the transformation of the middle east from tradition to modernity It traces the origins of the tragedy back to the sixties when Iraq, by virtue of its oil, first became a pawn in the Cold War. And carries the story forward through the first and second Gulf wars and the long period of starvation by consensus during the Clinton years History is always written by the victors and Iraq is no exception The blame for the sequence of events that led to its invasion has been placed squarely upon the head of Saddam Hussein But this book tells a completely different story Iraq was destroyed by a fatal convergence of three factors, its large oil reserves the hypocrisy of successive American administrations and the skilful way in which Istael pressed all the buttons in American politics and the media to bring about Iraq's downfall.
