This remarkable
account of US and UK policy toward Iraq--from its founding
as a British colony after World War I to the immediate
present--is brilliantly illuminating in an almost literal
sense. It's as if the author had suddenly turned the
lights on in the dark cellar of American foreign policy
in the Middle East. ....I can't recommend it too highly
for the many struggling to fathom how America came to
the present calamitous role of occupying Iraq against
local resistance.
- Daniel Ellsberg, author of "Secrets: A Memoir
of Vietnam and the Pentagon Papers" |

"OIL, POWER AND EMPIRE:
IRAQ AND THE U.S. GLOBAL AGENDA"
a new book by Larry Everest
Why did the U.S. invade Iraq, why is it vowing to stay,
and why has its occupation generated such opposition? In
this riveting and meticulously documented history of U.S.
intervention in Iraq, Larry Everest demolishes official
pretexts of weapons of mass destruction, ties to Al Qaeda,
and “liberating” Iraqis, along with conventional
explanations like bad intelligence or corporate favoritism
to expose the real agenda at work:
* How the Bush administration seized on September 11 to
consolidate a new global strategy of unbounded war for greater
empire
* Why conquering Iraq is central to U.S. imperial
objectives
* How the 2003 Iraq War grew out of over 80
years of foreign domination of the Middle East, yet also
represents a radical leap in U.S. efforts to control the
region
* How oil was a major objective of the war,
not to fuel SUV’s or reward favored corporations,
but to secure a powerful weapon of empire
* How the U.S. is attempting to create an
Iraqi client state, and why its occupation is spawning popular
resistance
* How the Bush war juggernaut could be derailed
The most thorough and reliable critique of
U.S. policy toward Iraq available. Eminently reasonable
and coherently argued. Those who have been subjected to
the heavy bombardment of U.S. propaganda should read this
book--now.
