N2  - In 'Confronting Saddam Hussein', Melvyn P. Leffler, analyzes why the US went to war in Iraq in 2003 and who was most responsible for the decision. Employing a unique set of personal interviews with dozens of top officials and declassified American and British documents, Leffler vividly portrays the emotions and anxieties that shaped the thinking of the president after the shocking events of 9/11. As the book unfolds, the centrality of Bush's role becomes more and more evident. A necessary reassessment of George W. Bush's intervention in Iraq, Confronting Saddam Hussein provides a provocative reinterpretation of the most important international event of the 21st century
