Description

As George W. Bush and Tony Blair edge the Western world closer and closer to a major-scale war, the latest volume in the acclaimed Open Media series, which includes Noam Chomsky's best-selling 9-11, explodes pro-war propaganda and exposes the real history and reasons behind this ever-looming global threat, arguing that the U.S.'s post-September 11 policy toward Iraq is neither about controlling weapons of mass destruction nor fighting terrorism, but about consolidating U.S. control of oil reserves and dominance in the Middle East.
