This assessment of the actual consequences of the war examines the ecology of the region, the oil spills and fires, the impact of desert fighting, the lasting effects on the human environment, the health consequences for the region's population, the attempts to destroy Iran's nuclear and biological arsenal, and the legal and policy issues. It shows in detail how the West went about arming Saddam Hussein's regime and reveals how the likely consequences of the conflict were known well in advance and covered up.
