Bush's War: Why the United States Is Attacking Iraq

In 1991, George Bush Sr. started the Gulf War. Barely ten years later, it seems as if George W. Bush wants to finish his father's work. The regime of Saddam Hussein must be brought down, but what other interests are behind the 'war against evil' that America is to wage?
In Bush's War, Eric Laurent provides nuanced answers to these and many other questions. He shows which interests - including those of the Bush family - American business has in the Arab world. He makes it clear that the White House has been gripped by a new ideology after the war in Afghanistan. He outlines the risks of a war against Iraq that the Arab allies oppose and that leads to increasing division in Europe.
Bush's War is a thrilling and compelling story about financial and economic interests, political and military strategies, and the dangers lurking over the only remaining superpower.
