About the Author:
Scott Ritter was one of UNSCOM's most senior weapons inspectors in Iraq between 1991 and 1998, after having served for eight years as an intelligence officer in the US Marine Corps. As a Marine, he conducted arms inspections in the former Soviet Union, and provided analysis of Iraq's missile capacity to General Schwarzkopf in the 1991 Gulf War. He resigned from UNSCOM in 1998, and has since worked in a private capacity to promote non-proliferation and arms control. Seymour Hersh is a Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist currently writing for the New Yorker. In his long and distinguished career he has uncovered some of the most important stories in US foreign policy, including the Mai Lai massacre in Vietnam, Henry Kissinger's secret bombing campaign in Cambodia, and, more recently, the relationship between the Pentagon and the abuse of prisoners in Abu Ghraib.
Review:
'I find myself totally in sympathy with Scott Ritter's central proposition, which is not that the intelligence agencies failed, but that the intelligence was made subordinate to policy; Scott speaks with the authority of someone who has been there.' - The Rt. Hon. Robin Cook (1946-2005) 'Ritter's revealing testimony confirms what some of us have suspected, but never heard set out so vividly.' - John Kampfner, Editor of the New Statesman 'a rermarkable book' - the Daily Mail
