'Allies is an account of the Iraq crisis, its causes and
consequences. Writing in persuasive prose... Shawcross lets the
record speak for itself... With cogency and passion, Allies makes
the case that this [anti-American] kind of prejudice is disgraceful
in itself - a negation of reality and a potential threat to the
west and to the whole world order.' David Pryce-Jones, Sunday
Telegraph The U.S., Britain and their coalition partners took
enormous risks in invading Iraq in March 2003. They risked one of
the most successful alliances in history. They risked damaging both
the United Nations and themselves. They risked a much bloodier war
than that which eventually took place, and they risked creating a
new swamp in which terrorists could actually breed and flourish.
Allies is an analysis of the risks taken in Iraq, the reasons for
them and the ways in which the challenge posed by Iraq was unlike
anything faced by the post-war Western consensus. Distinguished
foreign correspondent William Shawcross shows why America had to
take the lead, and why Britain - and many other countries -
followed. It is required reading for everyone, regardless of
political persuasion. From the reviews: 'A lucid and judicious
analysis of the ways in which the challenge posed by Iraq was
unlike anything previously faced by the postwar Western consensus.'
Ian McIntyre, The Times 'Lucid and hugely readable... Allies is an
articulate, informed presentation of the core relationship between
George Bush and Tony Blair.' Paul Rogers, Independent
General
