A paperback book in good condition tho the front and back covers show wear. It has 268 pages and was written by Judith Miller of the New York Times and Laurie Mylroie of Harvard University. It is a Times Books Special Report. The back cover reads, in part: "People everywhere seek a deeper understanding of the roots of this conflict. This book offers the reader a thorough examination of the rise of Saddam Hussein, his conversion of Iraq into one of the world's more Orwellian states, the reasons for his invasion of Kuwait, and the considerable threat he posed for the stability of the Middle East. Revealing little-known facts about the personality and life of Saddam Hussein, the authors set the crisis against the backdrop of Arab political culture, imperial rivalry, and messianic ambition."
