by Dr. Abdul-Haq Al-AniFrom the publisher:
Intended as the trial of the century, a vindication of the US assault on Iraq, and an historical turning point in the application of international law, the trial of Saddam Hussein soon descended into chaos and disrepute. This book shows it was not an emergent Iraqi democracy bringing a former dictator to justice, but an American-micro-managed show trial.
An Iraqi-born, British-trained barrister called to the Bar in 1996, Abdul-Haq al-Ani coordinated Saddam Husseins defense from London. He has lived in Scandinavia and Britain for the past twenty years. He joined the Baath party while in his teens, but left it in disappointment a few years later.
