Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:The author further discusses U.S. assistance to Iraq during and its conduct of the 1990 Gulf War, the Afghanistan war and the current Iraq war in relation to violations of the laws of neutrality, humanitarian law, the laws of war and the U.S. Constitution. The concluding chapter includes draft articles for the impeachment of President George W. Bush. Book News Annotation:For Boyle (international law, U. of Illinois-Champaign), the "War on
Terror" is little more than a pretext for the expanded imperialist
foreign policy of the United States, a policy characterized by a
marked flouting of international law and a possibly inevitable slide
into a Third World War. Beginning his narrative with a discussion of
the U.S.- engineered coup d'<'e>tat against the democratically
elected Iranian leader Mohammed Mossadegh in 1959, he examines U.S.
foreign policy towards the Middle East, largely through a legalistic
lens honed over years of crafting legal petitions seeking to hold
U.S. leaders accountable for their international crimes. He spends
most of the work looking at the U.S. wars against Iraq, including the
U.S-crafted sanctions blamed for over half a million Iraqi children
dead over ten years, and concludes with a "guide to impeaching George
W. Bush."
