His army had been routed, his country had been bombed back into a pre-industrial age, his subjects were in bloody revolt, and his borders were sealed. World leaders waited confidently for the downfall of the pariah of Baghdad. Almost a decade later, they are still waiting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the first in-depth account of what went wrong. Drawing on the authors' firsthand experiences on the ground inside Iraq (often under fire) and their interviews with key players--ranging from members of Saddam's own family to senior officials of the CIA--\u003cem\u003eOut of the Ashes\u003c\/em\u003e tells what happened when the smoke cleared from the battlefields of the Gulf War.
