The Bomb in My Garden The Secrets of Saddam's Nuclear Mastermind Author:Mahdi Obeidi, Kurt Pitzer Praise for The Bomb in My Garden "This one book will tell you more about Iraqs quest for weapons of mass destruction than all U.S. intelligence on the subject. It is a fascinating and rare glimpse inside Saddam Husseins Iraqand inside a tyrants mind." — Fareed Zakaria — author of The Future of Freedom "The Bom... more »b in My Garden is important and utterly gripping. The old cliché is trueyou start reading, and you dont want to stop. Mahdi Obeidis story makes clear how hard Saddam Hussein tried to develop a nuclear weapon, and the reasons he fell short. It is also unforgettable as a picture of how honorable people tried to cope with a despots demands. I enthusiastically recommend this book."
James Fallows
National Correspondent, The Atlantic Monthly "Obeidi was the key scientist in Saddams centrifuge program, and he was central when they tried to conceal it. He was already thought to be too friendly to the weapons inspectors, and he showed considerable personal courage in coming forward as he did during very unsettled conditions after the war."
