What is the real story that led to President Bush's 16 famous words in his 2003 State of the Union address, "The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa."? In the first book to uncover the details of the scandal that has already led to the indictment of one administration official - a scandal bigger than the Iran-Contra affair - the authors have drawn on their unique access to a large group of CIA, FBI, and international sources as well as whistle-blowers.As frustration over the increasing deaths in Iraq continues to mount, this timely, page-turning narrative provides fresh insights for a nation hungry for greater understanding of the Iraq War and the manipulated intelligence document that altered the course of contemporary history.
