The Achilles Trap masterfully untangles the people, ploys of power
and geopolitics that led to America's disastrous war with Iraq and,
for the first time, details America's fundamental miscalculations
during its ruinous, decades-long relationship with Saddam Hussein.
Beginning with Saddam's rise to power in 1979 and the birth of
Iraq's secret nuclear weapons programme, Steve Coll traces Saddam's
motives through understanding his inner circle. He brings to life
the diplomats, scientists, family members and generals who had no
choice but to defer to their leader - a leader directly responsible
for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Iraqis, as well as the
torture or imprisonment of many more.This was a man whose reasoning
was impossible to reduce to a simple explanation, and the CIA and
successive presidential administrations failed to grasp critical
nuances in his paranoia, resentments and inconsistencies - even
when the stakes were incredibly high. Using unpublished and
underreported sources, interviews with surviving participants, and
Saddam's own transcripts and audio files, The Achilles Trap is a
remarkable picture of a dictator who was convinced the world was
out to get him and acted accordingly. A work of great historical
significance, it is the definitive account of how corruptions of
power, lies of diplomacy and vanity - on both sides - led to
avoidable errors of statecraft: ones that would enact immeasurable
human suffering and forever change our political landscape.
