The Bomb in My Garden: The Secrets of Saddam's Nuclear Mastermind

Praise for The Bomb in My Garden
"This one book will tell you more about Iraq’s quest for weapons of mass destruction than all U.S. intelligence on the subject. It is a fascinating and rare glimpse inside Saddam Hussein’s Iraq–and inside a tyrant’s mind." –Fareed Zakaria author of The Future of Freedom
"The Bomb in My Garden is important and utterly gripping. The old cliché is true–you start reading, and you don’t want to stop. Mahdi Obeidi’s 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 despot’s demands. I enthusiastically recommend this book." –James Fallows National Correspondent, The Atlantic Monthly
"Obeidi was the key scientist in Saddam’s 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." –David Kay former UN weapons inspector and Head of the Iraqi Survey Group in charge of searching for weapons of mass destruction

It is also unforgettable as a picture of how honorable people tried to cope with a despot's demands. I enthusiastically recommend this book."" -James Fallows, National Correspondent, The Atlantic Monthly ""One of the three or four accounts that anyone remotely interested in the Iraq debate will simply have to read. Apart from its insight into the workings of the Saddam nuclear project, it provides a haunting account of the atmosphere of sheer evil that permeated every crevice of Iraqi life under the old regime."" -christopher hitchens, Slate ""Mahdi Obeidi describes in jaw-dropping detail how Iraq acquired the means to produce highly enriched uranium, the key ingredient to building a nuclear weapon, by the eve of the first Gulf War. . . . [His book] offers insights into how a determined dictator, backed by sufficient resources, can come within reach of acquiring the world's most horrific weapons."" -The Washington Post BookWorld
