註釋
Essential reading for an objective historical explanation of the current US-led war against Iraq. The 1991 Persian Gulf War marked the beginning of a new struggle to redivide the world, with the US seeking to use its military power to offset its declining position in the world economy. This volume exposes the secret White House operations to draw Saddam Hussein into an invasion of Kuwait to provide the long-awaited pretext for a US intervention in this oil-rich region. It describes the tragic suppression of Shi'ite and Kurdish uprisings in the aftermath of the war. Also includes a detailed history of colonial oppression in Iraq and the Middle East.
