Synopsis

War Plan Iraq rigorously dissects official propaganda to argue powerfully against an illegal war in Iraq. Based on the popular ""ARROW Anti-War briefings,"" the book argues that there is no evidence that Iraq has chemical weapons, or that it is involved in terrorism. In fact, it proves evidence that the US refused a Taliban offer to extradite Osama Bin Laden and that the work of the weapons' inspectors was deliberately undermined by the US government. This projected war has no mandate; certainly not among the 58% of British people who oppose it, nor among Iraq's neighbours, nor even among the many US and British military personnel who are against it. If none of these arguments persuade our leaders, they should listen to the relatives of the 11 September victims recorded here so movingly, and heed the warning about the world recession that a war could trigger. Brilliantly persuasive and never dull, this book is essential reading for anyone who cares about peace and democracy.

Media Reviews
Give peace a chance and buy this book. It explains why Bush's proposed war against Iraq has little to do with Saddam's tyranny and everything to do with Washington's infinite greed for oil and power. -- Mike Davis If Nobel Peace Prizes were given to true peace-makers, one would be reserved for Milan Rai and his comrades in Voices in the Wilderness and Arrow. This book is a thorough, irrefutable testimony to why there should be no war with the Iraqis. - John Pilger This is the clearest and most persuasive explanation of the reasons not to go to war with Iraq that anyone could wish for. Written with great clarity and precision, War Plan Iraq exposes the extraordinary hypocrisy and double dealing which characterises the US march to war. - George Monbiot War Plan Iraq comes from an author on whose accuracy and research we have come to rely. The projected war is not inevitable. War Plan Iraq will help to prevent it. -- Bruce Kent Milan Rai is one of the wisest war resisters of our time. His carefully researched analysis has consistently guided non-violent efforts to end military and economic warfare against Iraq. Now more than ever, we rely on his reasoning and integrity. -- Kathy Kelly, Co-founder Voices in the Wilderness, US, Nobel Peace Prize Nominee 2000
