The ruses for war

"As a prelude to war in 2003, the administration of George W. Bush did its utmost to convince the public that Saddam Hussein's secret development of weapons of mass destruction posed a threat to American security. Within a year of the US invasion of Iraq, it became clear that no such weapons existed. Sadly, this was not the first time the American public was urged to support a war for reasons that turned out later to be scarcely credible. As law professor John Quigley amply demonstrates in this damning indictment of US military intervention ism since World War II, the Bush administration's actions fit a decades-old pattern of going to war on a pretense rather than informing the public of the government's true intentions."--BOOK JACKET.
