Riassunto

Like Barbara Tuchman's 1958 classic, The Zimmerman Telegram, about the decoded German wire that drew the United States into WWI, this explosive account by two award-winning investigative journalists traces the road to war in Iraq by following the intrigue surrounding the forged intelligence document offered as proof that the African country of Niger was prepared to supply Saddam Hussein with uranium for nuclear weapons. As the next presidential election approaches and frustration over the continuing deaths in Iraq continues to mount, this page-turning narrative—now available in paperback—provides fresh insights for a nation hungry for greater understanding of the Iraq War and the letter that altered the course of contemporary history.
