"I have known Dennis Fritz for three decades and served with him for many of those years. As my senior enlisted advisor in several commands, I benefited from his sound counsel. While I do not agree with some of his conclusions in this book ... I respect Dennis and was always proud to serve alongside him." --General Richard Myers, Former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
SynopsisBased on dramatic first-hand evidence, Deadly Betrayal uncovers why and how a cabal of Pentagon Advisors in the George W. Bush Administration created a fabricated justification to attack Iraq. The book provides a detailed insider account of how a Pentagon cabal strategized to manipulate intelligence, pressure the United Nations, force a Congressional authorization for the use of force through political threats, and scare the American people after 9/11 into supporting an attack on Iraq. Authored by a Pentagon insider and senior enlisted leader of nearly three decades standing, Command Chief Master Sergeant, Retired, Dennis Fritz worked directly for and advised some of the most senior General Officers in the Department of Defense. They included General Richard B. Myers, who served as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff during the height of the Iraq War. After military retirement, Fritz found himself inside Donald Rumsfeld's Pentagon working for Douglas Feith, the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy and key architect of the case for war. He was detailed to the Pentagon as a contracted Research Fellow and Analyst on a special project to gather and review all Iraqi Pre-War Planning Documents for declassification. His access to thousands of personal handwritten notes, documents, and Pentagon's internal conversations, has allowed him to tell the real story of why America invaded Iraq., Authored by a senior military leader, Deadly Betrayal is a devastating insider account of how a Pentagon cabal strategized to manipulate intelligence, pressure the United Nations, get a Congressional authorization for the use of force through political threats, and scare the American people after into supporting an attack on Iraq.
