In this devastating and brilliant new book John Simpson offers a compelling and cogent analysis of the Wests relationship with Saddam Hussein and Iraq, past and present. You cant really argue with much that John Simpson says-there is no foreign correspondent left on TV who has a fraction of his recognition and his credibility, a fact which may be unfair on the others, but happens to be true. That was Simon Hoggart reviewing Simpsons devastating Panorama profile of Saddam Hussein, broadcast in early November 2002. This riveting, important and timely new book is the summation of more than twenty years covering Saddam Husseins Iraq. The War Against Saddam offers, in five acts, the full story of his rise to power and the Wests relationship with Saddam throughout his dictatorship. The fifth act will draw on Simpsons first-hand experience of the 2003 war in Iraq, in what will be a major work of serious reportage and essential reading for us all.
