Description:... In Saddam's Iraq, a team of seasoned Reuters correspondents present an in-depth look at Iraq under Saddam Hussein, and its epochal confrontation with the United States and the West. Drawing on decades of experience covering Iraq, Hussein, and the Middle East, the authors place today's confrontation in historical context, and offer a detailed and objective examination of the United States' arguments for military action. Reuters' worldwide team assesses the positions of countries throughout the region, the risks and implications of changing the balance of power in the Gulf, and the most likely outcomes of a military attack. At the heart of the book: a vivid portrait of Saddam himself: his outsized personality and his profound impact on the history of the past quarter century.
