| From secret meetings in Baghdad during the Iran-Iraq War, to
cease-fire talks at a dusty airfield in U.S.-occupied southern Iraq in
1991, Ally to Adversary is the story of how Iraq, a virtual U.S. ally
during its long war with Iran, came to be America's foe on the
battlefields of Desert Storm, as seen through the eyes of a direct
participant. Retired U.S. intelligence officer Rick Francona
describes how Saddam Hussein led his nation on a self-destructive
path in his quest for regional dominance, culminating in the Iraqi
invasion of Kuwait in August 1990. While for most Americans,
Desert Storm was simply a war against a faceless enemy, for Rick
Francona it was a war against friends and former colleagues. He was
to face these same officers again, this time as enemies. |
