Kirkus Reviews STARRED REVIEWA former60 Minutesproducer exposes 85 years of Western recklessness and fecklessness in Iraq.... Plenty of ammunition here for those who believe a "campaign of lies and distortion" accounts for the U.S. presence in Iraq Publishers Weekly Lando, a60 Minutesinvestigative producer and filmmaker, carefully arranges all the threads of modern Iraqi political history and liberally doles out the guilt....Through extensive quotes from politicians, statesmen and official documents, Lando exposes the duplicity and ulterior motives that have pervaded the West's dealings Iraq. From the CIA's artificial prolonging of the Iran-Iraq War to the legendary betrayals of the Kurds and Shiites, the result has been death and destruction on a massive scale....his book offers readers a grasp of the country America has broken more than perhaps any other. Booklist A former investigative journalist with60 Minutes, Lando here presents a scathing account of the American role in creating, misleading, starving, and ultimately destroying Saddam Hussein's Iraq.... Lando is no apologist for Saddam Hussein, and this account certainly does not whitewash Iraq's aggressive foreign policy. Fast-paced and thick with realpolitik, this account is sure to draw attention. The OregonianDebra Gwartney ...it's staggering to encounter a sweep of history regarding this troubled corner of the Middle East in one volume. Page after page, Lando gives us evidence that means to prove that from "the time of the establishment of the modern nation of Iraq, foreign powers consistently prevented Iraqis from taking responsibility for their own destiny."...reminiscent of the newsiest of60 Minutessegments for which Lando was a producer for years, the author is relentless in battering readers with his case: that even though Saddam Hussein was responsible for some of the planet's worst atrocities (documented in full detail), the U.S. and other major powers are equally responsible, if not more so, for the terror Iraqi citizens have lived with for decades. The NationStanley Kulter While We Slept Where was our attention for the decade following the Gulf War in 1991? Were we so consumed by the companionable travesties of Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky, as well as by the Republicans' effort to impeach Clinton? Did we fully understand the Clinton Administration's doings in Bosnia and Kosovo? Did we properly take note of the rending of our political fabric when the Contract With (or was it on?) America was launched in 1994? And what attention did we give to the thirteen-year campaign of sanctions and bombings of Iraq? For Barry Lando, in his useful new bookWeb of Deceit: The History of Western Complicity in Iraq, From Churchill to Kennedy to George W. Bush, sanctions were the weapon of mass destruction used against the Iraqi people to starve and reduce them to a Third World level of poverty. Lando's work opens our eyes to one of the most tragic episodes in the lengthy, sorry history of "Western" dealings with Iraq. He offers a well-researched account of Iraq's external (and, to a lesser extent, internal) history since the British carved that unlikely state out of the moribund Ottoman Empire in 1919. History doesn't change much as he invokes Col. T.E. Lawrence's well-known injunction of that moment: "The people of England have been led in Mesopotamia into a trap from which it will be hard to escape with dignity and honour.... We are today not far from disaster." The British preferred Winston Churchill's imperial ambitions. We chose Bushes, a Clinton and their respective entourages. Either way, disaster was not far behind. Iraq floats on a sea of oil, reputedly with the world's third-largest reserves. The Great Powers naturally have been drawn to it, but they have cared nothing for the country th

Synopsis
'Web of Deceit' offers an investigative history of the role of the US and its allies in the tragedy of Iraq. The text demonstrates that the US and other Western businesses and governments secretly supported Saddam Hussein in his offensives against Iran and Kuwait and his use of chemical weapons against Iraqis., An investigative history of Western complicity in Saddam Hussein's crimes reveals the story his trial never will. In February 1991, the Shia of southern Iraq rose against Saddam Hussein. Barry M. Lando, a former investigative producer for "60 Minutes," argues compellingly that this ill-fated uprising represents one instance among many of Western complicity in Saddam Hussein's crimes against humanity. The Shia were responding to the call for rebellion from President George H.W. Bush that was broadcast repeatedly across Iraq by clandestine CIA stations. But, just as the revolution was on the brink of success, the United States and its allies turned their backs: U.S. troops destroyed huge weapons caches to prevent them from falling into rebel hands and blocked rebels trying to reach Baghdad. In the end, tens of thousands, possibly hundreds of thousands, were massacred. Because of restrictions imposed by the Special Tribunal prosecuting Saddam Hussein, the extensive role of the U.S. and its allies in his crimes will never be explored at his trial. But as "Web of Deceit" demonstrates, the nations that now denounce Saddam most prominently secretly backed the dictator from his rise to power in the 1960s and '70s to his offensives in Iran and, despite warnings, took no action to stop his invasion of Kuwait. They also turned their backs when he used chemical weapons against the Iraqi people and persisted in international sanctions long after they had proved ineffective and, for hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians, lethal. "Web of Deceit" draws on a wide range of journalism and scholarship to present a complete picture of what really happened in Iraq under Saddam, detailing--forthe first time--the complicity of the West in its full and alarming extent.
