"A woman said to me at supper, maybe a couple of weeks after our celebrated victory over Iraq, that the atmosphere of this country was like that at a party in a beautiful home, with good food and nice music and fresh flowers. But a terrible stink was coming from somewhere, and it was getting worse all the time, and nobody wanted to be the first to mention it.

"As Ramsey Clark makes so clear in this very valuable book, the stink comes from the slaughter that the United States waged against Iraq. The Fire this Time shows that our leaders committed war crimes in the Persian Gulf War no less surely than Nazis committed war crimes in World War II."

-KURT VONNEGUT

In The Fire this Time, former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark reveals the horrors he witnessed traveling through war-torn Iraq during and after "Desert Storm." The loss of human life and environmental destruction of George Bush's Gulf War has yet to be determined. The scope of the war crimes committed by the U. S. and its allies is shocking: the number of violations of international law, staggering. Based on evidence gathered firsthand as well as eyewitness reports, The Fire this Time is a sober exception to the self-congratulatory books on the Gulf War.
