You could never count Saddam Hussein and his Republic of Fear out

Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2020

Dr. Mylroie's book is scholarly, well-written and meticulously researched. Her passion for the subject matter is palpable as she tries connecting the dots to show us that the Iraqi leader, Saddam Hussein, was most likely behind the first World Trade Bombing in 1993. Dr. Mylroie makes some great prosecutive points to lay out her case. As a former FBI agent at the Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF) who actually lived through this period and came into contact with some of the bad actors mentioned in this book, Dr. Mylroie's knowledge of the case is more intimate than many of my civil servants who worked closely on these matters. Although the book is a bit dated, it continues to shine a bright light on the shadowy world of terrorism, the loose networks which like remora fish can attach themselves to nation state sponsorship either directly or indirectly. For those fascinated by Middle East terrorism, by Saddam Hussein passive-aggressive attitude toward America and the birth of Al-Qaeda in the United States, this spell-binding book is for you!

great book

Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2012

I enjoyed reading this. I'm not sure if everything is 100% truth or just opinion, but I have to say that I have always believed myself that Saddam and the Iraqi gov't was in some way, shape or form involved in the WTC attacks; both the 1993 and 2001. I think Mylroie gets her points across very well and keeps you intrigued throughout the entire book. I actually purchased this book initially because it was only being sold for .01 cent & free shipping so I thought what the hell. Glad I read it. Passing it on to some non-believers so they can see all the things that the U.S gov't doesn't want you to realize they ignored at the time of the attacks. I recommend.

Exposing the incompetence of US intelligence agencies

Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2004

Verified Purchase

Given the 9/11 commissions politicization, we will probably never get a true story of what really went wrong, but Mylroie was verbally abused by one of the commissioners when she testified about the ineptness of the FBI and CIA. Those agencies failed to even read incriminating evidence, sitting in boxes in the District Attorneys offices in NY, which remained untranslated and un-investigated for years after the first World Trade Center bombing. The FBI and CIA bureaucrats must hate the fact that reconstruction of the WTC is taking so long because the gaping hole in the ground there now is a monument to their ineptitude. Mylroie is able to show a very plausible case of how Saddam assisted in the first WTC bombing. But since this goes against the grain of the bureaucrats and politicians in Washington, they do everything they can to discredit her findings. But it is very difficult to argue with the facts that were available to the agencies which pointed to a direct link between Saddam and Al Qaeda. Who was "the Iraqi" who suddenly appeared and assisted the bombers? Why were there so many phone calls made by him to Iraq while the planning was going on for the bombing? Why were the chemicals used in the bomb a formulation which Iraq was noted for? These and dozens of other facts make a very convincing case that despite the politically correct propaganda spewed by unnamed, and most definitely incompetent, "sources" at the CIA, Saddam had no problem working with his fellow terrorists, no matter what their name, including Al Qaeda. With all the bureaucratic finger pointing and rear-end covering, they still have not been able to dispute the facts Mylroie exposes in this book. It would be interesting to see what kind of help she could be to the US if allowed to be a bureaucrat oversight manager in one of our intelligence agencies. But of course that is covered in her newer book "Bush vs the Beltway" which is another indictment of our inept and incompetent intelligence agencies.

Mylroie Gives the Facts

Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2004

Verified Purchase

While a bit out of date, Mylroie's book gives the facts connecting Iraqi intelligence to the first World Trade Center bombing. Documentation is given, especially for the movements and activities of Ramzi Yousef, Abdul Rahman Yasin and five other Islamic conspirators, whose activities and movements are tracked quite accurately -- for the ring-leaders Yousef and Yasin, all the way to Baghdad. Yousef is the same nasty character who later appears in terrorist activities (not fully discussed in Mylroie's book) in connection with Khalid Shiak Mohammed, one of the two 9-11 terror planners, now in US custody. He is Mohammed's nephew, and fellow jihadist, and two other of the 9-11 terrorists were "brothers" of Yousef. Those who dismiss these findings are either in denial, or willing to traffic in lies, as I observe in several of the negative reviews here at Amazon.com. Richard Clark's new book fully distorts this evidence, deceptively. Strongly recommended along with "Masterminds of Terror" by Fouda and Fielding, which tracks the history of the 9-11 plotters, some of whom firstly appear in Mylroie's book. The full history of these connections has not yet been written, but you'll get the basics from Mylroie, and the Fouda/Fielding book.

Insightful

I heard the author interviewed on the Dennis Prager radio show and was impressed. She is an expert in Iraq and its meglomaniac leader.
Her insights into the failed policies of the Clinton adminstration make an insightful read. I highly recommend this book.
