Description: First-rate investigative journalists Andrew and Patrick Cock-burn bring us the intriguing, controversial, and terrifying story from inside Iraq. Out of the Ashes exposes for the first time ever the internal feuds between covert CIA operators that doomed the secret operations to bring down Saddam Hussein in what was the biggest intelligence debacle since the Bay of Pigs. The Cockburns offer surprising insights into the psyche of the man who has terrorized democracy worldwide, and made astonishing comebacks in the face of repeated attempts from inside and outside Iraq to eliminate him. They lift the veil on the Iraqi royal family and the volatile relationships that may prove to be Hussein's undoing. Out of the Ashes also sheds new light on Saddam Hussein's most treasured possessions -- his weapons of mass destruction -- and why he will never give them up.
