Steven's Reviews > Saddam's Bombmaker: The Daring Escape of the Man Who Built Iraq's Secret Weapon

Higher-up in Saddam's Iraq describes Saddam's efforts to obtain weapons of mass destruction. Books like this were used to present the case for the Iraq War. Even when reading this book well before the plans for the invasion were announced, I found a lot of the perceived "threat" to be pretty minimal. At one point the author describes how much of the Iraq nuclear program was developed after a group of Iraqi scientists spent a couple of days at the science library at some elite school in the East and made photocopies of things they thought were interesting. Good ol' American intelligence system, they are never wrong.
