Synopsis
Why did John Howard lead Australia into a highly unpopular war with Iraq? The war cost us more than $700 million but, predictably, has made Iraq and its neighbours more unstable, and hasn't delivered any of the results our leaders promised: replacing Saddam Hussein with a democratic regime, finding Iraq's weapons of mass destruction, or combating terrorism. And how could the war have been in our interests if it has made Australia a target for further terrorism, put us at odds with our Asian neighbours, and fractured the United Nations? John Howard hasn't revealed his real reasons for his strange behavious, but this book does.
