( Details ) ISBN: 0131411535 Published: December 2002 | Published by Financial Times Prentice Hall On the Jacket An in-depth, unbiased, up-to-the-minute briefing on the Iraq crisis. More than a decade after the Gulf War, the world faces the daunting specter of another war with Iraq. In Saddam's Iraq, a team of seasoned Reuters correspondents provides an in-depth and objective account of how the high-stakes crisis exploded and gives up-to-the-minute assessments of scenarios that may unfold. The book focuses on the U.S. goal of "regime change" in Baghdad and spells out why some nations so strongly oppose another Gulf War, which they fear could disrupt the region's fragile balance of power and ignite a wider conflict. Drawing on a wealth of experience covering Iraq, the Middle East and the United States, the authors provide illuminating answers to tough questions such as: Does Saddam Hussein have a Doomsday weapon and will he use it? Will Saddam attack Israel? What is oil's role in the crisis? How did September 11 drive U.S. policy on Iraq from containment to the possibility of a preemptive strike? The book clearly sets out arguments for and against war with Iraq, alongside possible outcomes and the risks involved. In Saddam's Iraq, a team of Reuters correspondents presents an in-depth and compelling look at Iraq under Saddam Hussein, and the high-stakes confrontation with the United States and the West. Drawing on decades of experience covering Iraq, Saddam and the Middle East, the authors place today's crisis in historical context and give a detailed and objective analysis of the U.S. arguments for "regime change" in Baghdad. The book outlines 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 any military attack. At the heart of the book is a vivid portrait of Saddam Hussein: his rise to power and his profound impact on the history of the past quarter century. Complemented by powerful graphics, at-a-glance chronologies and dramatic photography, Saddam's Iraq brings compelling analysis and objective answers to the complex confrontation. Reuters correspondents answer crucial questions about the crisis with Iraq: • Washington's policy of ousting Saddam: What were the effects of the 9/11 attacks? • Preemptive action: Are there alternatives? U.N. inspectors: Are they effective? • What does America see as the risks of attacking Saddam against the risks of leaving him alone? • Is Saddam ready to use a Doomsday weapon? Would he attack Israel? • The role of oil in the showdown: How is the crisis viewed by the Arab world? • What does Saddam stand to gain or lose? Who would take over after him?
