Media Reviews
"What makes IRAQ CONFIDENTIAL such an important book is that Ritter himself was a key figure in the espionage maneuvers before the war began. He is not just another journalist writing a book based on undisclosed sources or a former spy extolling his own career, but an American working for the U.N. who found himself plunged into a fight-not with Saddam but with competing units of the American intelligence community." -- James Ridgeway

America's Secret War
by George Friedman
Stratfor, one of the world’s most respected private global intelligence firms, has an unmatched ability to provide clear perspective and connect the dots on the current geopolitical map. In AMERICA'S SECRET WAR George Friedman identifies the United States’s most dangerous enemies, delving into everything from presidential strategies of the last quarter century to hidden reasons behind the attack of 9/11 to the true aim of the war in Iraq. It describes in eye-opening detail America’s covert and overt efforts in the global war against terrorism: not only are U.S. armies in combat on every continent, but since 9/11 the intelligence services of dozens of nations have been operating in close partnership with the CIA. Drawing on Stratfor’s vast information-gathering network, George Friedman presents a picture of today’s world that is far more insightful and clear than what is reported on television and in other news media. His revelations and topics include: •The unreported factors that led to the U.S. invasion of Iraq—and the real meaning behind the search for weapons of mass destruction •The impact on the Bush administration of a terror-attack threat on New York in late 2001—a threat that was never made public but would have been more devastating than 9/11, and altered the course of U.S. foreign policy • A covert night-operation in which the U.S. took over Pakistan’s nuclear facilities at the height of the India-Pakistan nuclear scare • The real story of Tora Bora—betrayal, confusion, and timidity—that allowed Osama bin Laden to escape • The U.S. military’s quiet construction of an important new base in the Philippines, a decade after the celebrated closing of the Subic naval base • The day the war in Iraq started and the deliberately faked attack on Saddam Hussein AMERICA'S SECRET WAR is an unprecedented look at the new world war being waged behind-the-scenes today. It is sure to stir debate and capture headlines around the world.
