A fantastic and important historical document, but a frustrating book for anyone who has lived through these times. ( ) A very interesting read. Not highly literary, many retakes and lots of UN-resolutions that becomes difficult to keep track of. But to be able to read about how many of the things you have heard of in the news so many times, really has come about, is fascinating. Blix implies, for example, that the CIA hasn’t had an unbiased approach, and that the American (and British) government were happy to interpret reports from CIA in their own favour. --- Mycket intressant läsning. Inte höglitterärt, många upprepningar och en massa FN-resolutioner som blir svåra att hänga med i. Men att få läsa sig till hur en många av de saker man hört om så många gånger i nyhetsrapporteringarna egentligen gått till, är mycket fascinerande. Blix antyder tex att CIA inte arbetat förbehållslöst, och att den amerikanska (och brittiska) regeringen gärna tolkade CIA:s rapporter till sin fördel. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
The war against Iraq divided opinion throughout the world and generated a maelstrom of spin and counterspin. The man at the eye of the storm, and arguably the only key player to emerge from it with his integrity intact, was Hans Blix, head of the UN weapons inspection team. This is Dr. Blix’s account of what really happened during the months leading up to the declaration of war in March 2003. In riveting descriptions of his meetings with Tony Blair, Jacques Chirac, Colin Powell, Condoleezza Rice, and Kofi Annan, he conveys the frustrations, the tensions, the pressure and the drama as the clock ticked toward the fateful hour. In the process, he asks the vital questions about the war: Was it inevitable? Why couldn’t the U.S. and UK get the backing of the other member states of the UN Security Council? Did Iraq have weapons of mass destruction? What does the situation in Iraq teach us about the propriety and efficacy of policies of preemptive attack and unilateral action? Free of the agendas of politicians and ideologues, Blix is the plainspoken, measured voice of reason in the cacophony of debate about Iraq. His assessment of what happened is invaluable in trying to understand both what brought us to the present state of affairs and what we can learn as we try to move toward peace and security in the world after Iraq.
