About the Book :Iraq War This book portrays the history and reasons behind the recently concluded Iraq War and the earlier Gulf War in a way never told before. It describes in analytical detail the history of modern day Iraq right from its formation when Britain carved out Mesopotamia from the Ottoman Empire and created Iraq. It researches in depth the problems faced by Britain when it tried to impose an alien colonial government on a nation. The role of a remarkable English lady Getrude Bell who tired to change the British stance for the better by installing an Arab monarch in Iraq. The battle of attrition between Turkey, a medieval power on the wane and Great Britain at the Zenith of Its power for control over Iraq is described in vivid detail. The coming to power of Rashid Ali (the Netaji Subhas Bose of Iraq) who sought emancipation from colonial rule with the help of an Axis power – Germany. It narrates the crushing of this nationalist uprising with the British invading Iraq for the second time and how Iraq was made an unwilling participant in World War II. It depicts the coming to power of general Kassem in a coup, which ended the monarchy and establish an independent Republic. The dubious role of CIA in Kassem’s assassination and bringing Saddam Hussain to power. The Book reveals the policy, which Britain and U. S have followed towards Iraq over the years specifically during the Iran-Iraq war. Finally it gives an insight into some little known facts which precipitated the Kuwait crisis and the unfolding of events which led to Saddam falling out of favour – from a U. S ally to adversary – and the sequence of events in the Gulf War and thereafter.

In the months leading up to March 2003, fresh from its swift and heady victory in Afghanistan, the Bush administration mobilized the United States armed forces to overthrow the government of Iraq. Eight months after the president declared an end to major combat operations, Saddam Hussein was captured in a farmhouse in Al-Dawr. And yet neither peace nor democracy has taken hold in Iraq; instead the country has plunged into terrorist insurgency and guerrilla warfare, with no end in sight.What went wrong? In The Secret History of the Iraq War, bestselling author Yossef Bodansky offers an astonishing new account of the war and its aftermath—a war that was doomed from the start, he argues, by the massive and systemic failures of the American intelligence community. Drawing back the curtain of politicized debate, Bodansky—a longtime expert and director of the Congressional Task Force on Terrorism and Unconventional Warfare—reveals that nearly every aspect of America's conflict with Iraq has been misunderstood, in both the court of public opinion and the White House itself. Among his revelations: The most authoritative account of Saddam Hussein's support for Islamic terrorist organizations—including extensive new reporting on his active cooperation with al-Qaeda in Iraq long after the fall of Baghdad Extensive new information on Iraq's major chemical and biological weapons programs—including North Korea's role in building still-undetected secret storage facilities and Iraq's transfer of banned materials to Syria, Iran, and Libya The first account of Saddam's plan for Iraq, Syria, and Iran to join Yasser Arafat's Palestinian forces to attack Israel, throw the region into turmoil, and upend the American campaign The untold story of Russia's attempt to launch a coup against Saddam before the war—and how the CIA thwarted it by ensuring that Iraq was forewarned Dramatic details about Saddam's final days on the run, including the untold story of a near miss with U.S. troops and the stunning revelation that Saddam was already in custody at the time of his capture—and was probably betrayed by members of his own Tikriti clan The definitive account of the anti-U.S. resistance and uprising in Iraq, as the American invasion ignited an Islamic jihad and Iran-inspired intifada, threatening to plunge the region into irreversible chaos fueled by hatred and revenge Revelations about the direct involvement of Osama bin Laden in the terrorism campaigns in Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and the rest of the Middle East—including the major role played by Iran and HizbAllah in al-Qaeda's operations Drawing upon an extraordinary wealth of previously untapped intelligence and regional sources, The Secret History of the Iraq War presents the most detailed, fascinating, and convincing account of the most controversial war of our times—and offers a sobering indictment of an intelligence system that failed the White House, the American military, and the people of the Middle East.

In this unprecedented account of the intensive air and ground operations in Iraq, two of America's most distinguished military historians bring clarity and depth to the first major war of the new millennium. Reaching beyond the blaring headlines, embedded videophone reports, and daily Centcom briefings, Williamson Murray and Robert Scales analyze events in light of past military experiences, present battleground realities, and future expectations. The Iraq War puts the recent conflict into context. Drawing on their extensive military expertise, the authors assess the opposing aims of the Coalition forces and the Iraqi regime and explain the day-to-day tactical and logistical decisions of infantry and air command, as British and American troops moved into Basra and Baghdad. They simultaneously step back to examine long-running debates within the U.S. Defense Department about the proper uses of military power and probe the strategic implications of those debates for America's buildup to this war. Surveying the immense changes that have occurred in America's armed forces between the Gulf conflicts of 1991 and 2003--changes in doctrine as well as weapons--this volume reveals critical meanings and lessons about the new "American way of war" as it has unfolded in Iraq.

The Iraq War was a protracted armed conflict that began in 2003 with the invasion of Iraq by a United States-led coalition that overthrew the government of Saddam Hussein. The conflict continued for much of the next decade as an insurgency emerged to oppose the occupying forces and the post-invasion Iraqi government. But, this book is an entertaining and honest read. This book takes the reader behind the scenes of the Iraq war and offers a perspective not often seen on television news or in the newspapers. It is interesting to hear about day-to-day life in a war zone. It is also interesting to learn about the little details of the everyday life of a soldier such as how the bathroom situation works, etc. The idea of telling the narrative through a daily journal is great and offers a good variety of ups and downs since the reader lives each day with the author.

As the Anglo-American occupation of Iraq peters out in failure, the historical debate is just beginning. How were we so misled in to such a disastrous war? What were its real goals? What did it achieve? Former UN Weapons inspector Scott Ritter offers a rare first-hand account of the build up to the war, and how the CIA exploited weapons inspections in pursuit of its secret regime-change agenda. The CIA tried to silence him. But in this book, he speaks out. Operating in a fog of espionage and counter-espionage, Ritter and his team were determined to find out the truth about Saddam's WMD after the 1991 Gulf war. The CIA, and Saddam Hussein, were determined to stop them. For the truth, we now know, was that Iraq was playing a deadly game of double-bluff. Iraq Confidential charts the disillusionment of a true patriot, who came to realise that his own government was trying to undermine weapons control in the Middle East. A host of characters from MI6 to Qusay Hussein flesh out this powerful story, which is an essential reading for anyone seeking to understand Iraq, the war on terror, and American power. 'a rermarkable book' - the Daily Mail 'Ritter's revealing testimony confirms what some of us have suspected, but never heard set out so vividly.' - John Kampfner, Editor of the New Statesman

In 2004, the United States waged one of the bloodiest battles of the Iraq war in the city of Fallujah, west of Baghdad. For many the city was a symbol of resistance to the US war and occupation; since the battle it has become a symbol of the worst of the US - Iraq war. Only one television station - Al Jazeera - stayed in Fallujah to report on the battle, and the horrifying and heartbreaking images seen worldwide came from reporter Ahmed Mansour and cameraman Laith Mushtaq. The images so outraged the world that the US military made Mansour's leaving Fallujah the first condition for a ceasefire. Donald Rumsfeld called his reporting 'vicious and inaccurate', and argued that they were propagandists: 'What they do is when a bomb goes down, they grab some children and some women and pretend that the bomb hit the women and children'. Here, for the first time in English, is the renowned reporter's own view of what happened inside Fallujah. It is the untold story of a defining battle that determined the future of the US occupation of Iraq; the story of a city that shattered US designs not only for Iraq but the region as a whole.'Al-Jazeera has a track record of honest and accurate reporting, and has maintained a principled pluralism in the face of brutal and authoritarian regimes within the region, and increasingly from those without. This is why it has been vilified, criminalised and bombed. It is also why it should be defended...' Arthur Neslen, The Guardian
