About Iraq Disarmed: The Story Behind the Story of the Fall of Saddam

and “A fascinating and clear-sighted book about the UN, the United States, and Iraq, and what happens behind the closed doors of power. and “-Evin Ismail, Svenska Dagbladet [Swedish Daily News] and “The quest to disarm Iraq took place between two wars-one justified and right, the other a dreadful mistake, a violation of international law that led to hundreds of thousands of deaths. and ” With these unvarnished words, Rolf Ekeus begins his political-thrilleresque story of the disarmament of Iraq-and the machinations that ultimately led to the fall of Saddam Hussein and the rise of ISIS.After Saddam’s invasion of Kuwait and the war that followed, the UN Security Council ruled that Iraq must rid itself of all weapons of mass destruction. The difficult, politically sensitive, and dangerous task of accomplishing this rested with the UN Special Commission (UNSCOM), led by Ekeus, one of Sweden’s most seasoned diplomats. This was a radical experiment in UN governance-essentially conveying to one individual the power to conduct a disarmament program, with oversight only by the Security Council.What followed were a succession of tense conversations with the Iraqi leadership, often-dangerous inspections, complex destruction processes, negotiations with Security Council representatives, and diplomatic maneuvering by world leaders. The recounting of these events lies at the heart of Ekeus’s personal narrative of disarmament history in the making, a narrative that adds substantially to the evidence that UNSCOM’s mission was successful and the 2003 war clearly illegal.Crafted not in the interests of a political agenda, but rather for the sake of historical accuracy, Iraq Disarmed serves today as a sobering cautionary tale.
