Review
"Curveball clarifies a large number of points hitherto only dimly discerned which, if true, explain the biggest fiasco in the history of secret intelligence over 500 years. Even if only half of this is true, those who led us into the Iraq war on the basis of a tissue of lies should be impeached and indicted" (Frederick Forsyth, author of The Day Of The Jackal, The Odessa File and The Afghan.)
"Curveball is the factual equivalent of Catch 22. It is impossible to read this book and then look at our world leaders without thinking , 'F*ck. Oh f*ck. Oh my God, oh f*ck.'" (Mark Thomas)
"Thank God for Bob Drogin. It's books like Curveball that give many of us a sliver of hope that we can turn things around" (Michael Moore)
"A story of willful blindness masquerading as secret intelligence worthy of Somerset Maugham or Graham Greene" (New York Times)
"Bob Drogin is an ace newspaper man, who raked through the muck of so-called intelligence that was used to justify America's invasion of Iraq -- and struck journalistic gold in this story of a con-man who told his CIA handlers exactly what they wanted to hear. If this twisted tale of deception and credulity could be read simply as a thrilling farce it would be pure delight -- but much more importantly, it is a history of our time" (Philip Gourevitch, author of We Wish to Inform You That Tomorrow We Will be Killed With Our Families: Stories from Rwanda)
Book Description
