505 1 "Drawing on the authors' firsthand experiences on the
ground inside Iraq (often under fire) and their interviews
with key players - ranging from members of Saddam's own
family to senior officials of the CIA - Out of the Ashes
tells what happened when the smoke cleared from the
battlefields of the Gulf War. Leaders of the uprising that
almost toppled the dictator describe the desperate mission
they undertook to plead for American help and how they
were turned away. We learn of Saddam's secret plan to fool
and corrupt the UN weapons inspectors and how the scheme
initially went awry. Senior U.S. intelligence officials
explain what they really thought of the Iraqi opposition
movement they helped to create. An agent on the CIA
payroll recounts his exploits planting bombs in Baghdad."
"While U.S. officials grappled with the ongoing crisis of
Saddam's survival, the Iraqi leader himself presided over
a regime dominated by his own terrifying family. Here is
the full story of that family - "animals," as one former
intimate describes them - and its vicious feuds, including
the downfall of the man who once stood at Saddam's right
hand."--Jacket.
