Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/War on Iraq: What Team Bush Doesn't Want You to Know
This brief book is an interview of U.N. weapons inspector Scott Ritter, who is an exceptionally important figure in the history of opposition to the 2003 invasion of Iraq, despite his unrelated personal legal problems. I oppose a redirect to William Rivers Pitt, because he was the interviewer, and the book's importance comes entirely from what Scott Ritter had to say. This anti-war book was published at the time that war hysteria in the United States was at a fever pitch, and Scott Ritter was being widely ridiculed by "reliable sources", so in the spirit of ignoring all rules, I would recommend disregarding the lack of in-depth reviews at the time of publication. Worthy of note is that, in my opinion, Ritter's analysis has proven to be true, and those who criticized him are discredited. History will judge. Although I am not arguing that this is an "academic book" in the normal sense of that term, it has proven to be an important source for historians writing the history of the Iraq war debacle. The section of  on academic books says that "common sense should prevail" and that one factor determining notability is "how widely the book is cited". As the history of that war has been written in the past decade, this book has been an important subject of study. It inspired a chapter in http://books.google.com/books?id=Q5bFdpNNB5IC&dq=%22War+on+Iraq:+What+Team+Bush+Doesn't+Want+You+to+Know%22&source=gbs_navlinks_s War on Truth: Everything You Ever Wanted to Know about the Invasion of Iraq But Your Government Wouldn't Tell You, 2008, and is cited in http://books.google.com/books?id=10BiGSdCyVQC&pg=PA21&dq=%22War+on+Iraq:+What+Team+Bush+Doesn't+Want+You+to+Know%22&hl=en&sa=X&ei=eWwlUa2tF8XCigLE4IDICg&ved=0CEcQ6AEwBA#v=onepage&q=%22War%20on%20Iraq%3A%20What%20Team%20Bush%20Doesn't%20Want%20You%20to%20Know%22&f=false Bring 'em On: Media And Politics In The Iraq War, 2005, http://books.google.com/books?id=FvmP8IAmzssC&pg=PA263&dq=%22War+on+Iraq:+What+Team+Bush+Doesn't+Want+You+to+Know%22&hl=en&sa=X&ei=eWwlUa2tF8XCigLE4IDICg&ved=0CE4Q6AEwBQ#v=onepage&q=%22War%20on%20Iraq%3A%20What%20Team%20Bush%20Doesn't%20Want%20You%20to%20Know%22&f=false Bush's Wars, 2011, http://books.google.com/books?id=tyXFok7i5NEC&pg=PA19&dq=%22War+on+Iraq:+What+Team+Bush+Doesn't+Want+You+to+Know%22&hl=en&sa=X&ei=eWwlUa2tF8XCigLE4IDICg&ved=0CFQQ6AEwBg#v=onepage&q=%22War%20on%20Iraq%3A%20What%20Team%20Bush%20Doesn't%20Want%20You%20to%20Know%22&f=false From "9-11" to the "Iraq War 2003": International Law in a Age of Complexity, 2003, http://books.google.com/books?id=pSQJLqms8CcC&pg=PA414&dq=%22War+on+Iraq:+What+Team+Bush+Doesn't+Want+You+to+Know%22&hl=en&sa=X&ei=eWwlUa2tF8XCigLE4IDICg&ved=0CFoQ6AEwBw#v=onepage&q=%22War%20on%20Iraq%3A%20What%20Team%20Bush%20Doesn't%20Want%20You%20to%20Know%22&f=false The Fall of the House of Bush: The Untold Story of How a Band of True Believers Seized the Executive Branch, Started the Iraq War, and Still Imperils America's Future, 2007, http://books.google.com/books?id=adXzB5ob15cC&pg=PA75&dq=%22War+on+Iraq:+What+Team+Bush+Doesn't+Want+You+to+Know%22&hl=en&sa=X&ei=eWwlUa2tF8XCigLE4IDICg&ved=0CGAQ6AEwCA#v=onepage&q=%22War%20on%20Iraq%3A%20What%20Team%20Bush%20Doesn't%20Want%20You%20to%20Know%22&f=false Mass Media, Mass Propaganda: Understanding the News in the 'War on Terror', 2008, http://books.google.com/books?id=Gyg1F9J0zzUC&pg=PA148&dq=%22War+on+Iraq:+What+Team+Bush+Doesn't+Want+You+to+Know%22&hl=en&sa=X&ei=eWwlUa2tF8XCigLE4IDICg&ved=0CGYQ6AEwCQ#v=onepage&q=%22War%20on%20Iraq%3A%20What%20Team%20Bush%20Doesn't%20Want%20You%20to%20Know%22&f=false Haunted Victory: The American Crusade to Destroy Saddam and Impose Democracy on Iraq, 2012, http://books.google.com/books?id=nrrCYKB24ncC&pg=PA264&dq=%22War+on+Iraq:+What+Team+Bush+Doesn't+Want+You+to+Know%22&hl=en&sa=X&ei=1W4lUcmxE6agigLCm4H4Cg&ved=0CC0Q6AEwADgK#v=onepage&q=%22War%20on%20Iraq%3A%20What%20Team%20Bush%20Doesn't%20Want%20You%20to%20Know%22&f=false Imperial Designs: Neo Conservatism in the New Pax Americana, 2004, http://books.google.com/books?id=MfHdcrvv2JwC&pg=PA155&dq=%22War+on+Iraq:+What+Team+Bush+Doesn't+Want+You+to+Know%22&hl=en&sa=X&ei=1W4lUcmxE6agigLCm4H4Cg&ved=0CDMQ6AEwATgK#v=onepage&q=%22War%20on%20Iraq%3A%20What%20Team%20Bush%20Doesn't%20Want%20You%20to%20Know%22&f=false The Road to War: Manufacturing Public Opinion in Support of U.
