Book description
This riveting account is the summation of more than twenty years
covering Saddam Hussein's Iraq: a major work of serious reportage and
essential reading for us all.
'By far the most comprehensive and readable account to date . . .
Simpson remains a reporter who cares' Sunday Times
'Well-paced and well balanced . . . The Wars Against Saddam
impresses not so much by its urgency as its detachment . . . the book
exhibits, not bias, but a proper perspective' Boyd Tonkin,
Independent
'You can't really argue with much that John Simpson says - there is no
foreign correspondent left on TV who has a fraction of his recognition
and his credibility, a fact which may be unfair on the others, but
happens to be true' Simon Hoggart, reviewing Simpson's devastating
'Panorama' profile of Saddam Hussein, broadcast in early November 2002
