In this book Geoff Simons describes the US conflicts with Iraq in the broad context of regional politics and American objectives. He profiles the long American war on Iraq with a unique focus on the sanctions regime, the bombing campaign, US manipulation of the UN, the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the pro-Iraq Arab consensus, and how Washington plans to overthrow the Saddam Hussein regime. Such factors, explored in detail, graphically illustrate the impact of US policy on the international stage.
