The Threatening Storm: The Case for Invading Iraq
"One of the most important books on American foreign policy in years.  There  is no greater strategic challenge than Iraq, and nobody better qualified to tackle it than Kenneth Pollack.  To have such comprehensive, high-quality professional analysis available publicly and in real time is simply extraordinary.  From now on, all serious debate over how to handle Saddam starts here."-Gideon Rose, Managing Editor,Foreign Affairs"Iraq is at the top of America's foreign policy agenda and this book should be at the top of your reading list. Kenneth Pollack approaches the problem of Saddam Hussein without ideological blinkers or prejudices. He provides an clear-eyed account of the breakdown of American policy toward Saddam Hussein and makes a powerful case for a shift in that policy. Whether or not you agree with Pollack's solution -- and I do -- you will admireThe Threatening Storm. It is intelligent, balanced, and measured; a model of fair-minded analysis on a topic that rarely gets any. Before you make up your mind on Iraq, read this book."-Fareed Zakaria, editor ofNewsweekInternational" Kenneth Pollack has brilliantly written a comprehensive and insightful analysis of the problem Iraq poses for the United States. This is a must read for those desiring an in depth understanding of the issues in this complex problem and for those who are responsible for developing policy."-General Anthony C. Zinni, USMC (Ret.)
