About this book
In Tyranny's Ally, David Wurmser shows that current U.S. policy will never bring down Saddam Hussein's regime. All our previous efforts have failed because they targeted only the tyrant, not the institution of tyranny in Iraq and in the region. By tolerating centralized, statist oppression, the United States has assisted totalitarian despots and promoted the violent politics and social demolition that attend such predatory regimes.
Grounding his thesis in historical and contemporary analysis written in a clear and compelling prose, Wurmser outlines credible and effective strategies for U.S. policy makers to adopt.
