Reviews

"ÝRitter¨ provides a gripping outline of his role in the hunt for WMDs through an account that often reads like a spy novel."

"The important thing to know about Scott Ritter is that he was right." -- Seymour Hersh

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