5.0 out of 5 stars Wake up America !, January 2, 2001

By 

Chris Wheatley (Atlanta, GA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Study of Revenge (Hardcover)

Mylroie does a tremendous job of systematically documenting the efforts of Saddam to resume his, "mother of all wars" against the U.S.through his role in masterminding the world trade center bombing. Her plea for Americans to consider the broader national security implications of 'isolated' or 'unrelated' acts of violence in this nation should be considered with even greater seriousness as another Bush takes the helm. She has broken fertile ground in urging us to exhaust all possible legal and investigative avenues in protecting citizens from acts of mass violence and destruction. Thorough explanation and description characterizes her outstanding style of narration. This is a must read work for mideast, international relations or comparative political studies.

4.0 out of 5 stars Stark Revelations, November 24, 2000

By 

Ted Howard (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Study of Revenge (Hardcover)

Laurie Mylroie's amazingly lengthy and detailed research documentary of the real reason for the attempt to kill 250,000 people points squarely to Saddam Hussein. The American justice system, geared to appease Saddam as part of the current Administration's support structure for the status quo, represented in court that Ramzi Yousef, the mastermind, had fled to Afghanistan, when according to his plane ticket, he had gone to a pro-Iraqi haven. This immense book breaks the assumption of ignorance of the American public.

5.0 out of 5 stars A "Must Read" on State-Sponsored Terrorism, October 26, 2001

By 

Carole A. O'Leary, American University - See all my reviews

This review is from: Study of Revenge: The First World Trade Center Attack and Saddam Hussein's War against America (Hardcover)

Iraq expert, Dr. Laurie Mylroie, presents a compelling case linking Saddam Hussein and the Iraqi regime to the 1993 attack on the World Trade Center. Through painstaking and thorough research, Dr. Mylroie outlines the evidence and raises serious questions concerning the Clinton Administration's Iraq policy.
Her study also highlights the broader issue of US approaches to terrorism in general and state sponsored terrorism in particular.
This study has profound implications for US threat assessment in the post-September 11, 2001 environment.
