Bush Vs. the Beltway: The Inside Battle Over War in IraqHarper Collins, 10 авг. 2004 г. - Всего страниц: 272 As the dust settles over Baghdad, a leading expert on Iraq tells the story of the obstacles that stood between the US and the fall of Saddam – and reveals that many of them came from within the US government itself Laurie Mylroie's previous books on Iraq, the No 1 New York Times bestseller Saddam Hussein and the Crisis in the Gulf (co–authored by Judith Miller) and The War Against America, made the persuasive case that Saddam's regime had a long history of brutality and state sponsorship of terror, including involvement in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. Her work was highly influential in building the case against Saddam that led to the recent war in Iraq. Now Mylroie takes on the story behind the buildup to Operation Iraqi Freedom, in Bush vs. the Beltway.
