EARLY COMMENTS

'This is a magnificent exposé of the lies that propelled the criminal
attack on Iraq.'
John Pilger

'As the controversy over the war and its aftermath deepens, this is an
immediate, detailed and illuminating analysis that brings together a
remarkable range of material. Milan Rai does us all a service by
providing
so much of the evidence that is fuelling that controversy.'
Paul Rogers, Professor of Peace Studies, Bradford University

SUMMARY

Building on the success of his previous book WAR PLAN IRAQ, anti-war
activist Milan Rai has charged up new and disturbing facts that the
warmongers would rather we forgot about. 95 per cent new material,
REGIME
UNCHANGED is an angry battery of arguments for preventing the re-
writing of
history.

The first half of REGIME UNCHANGED documents step-by-step the way in
which
Washington undermined and finally shut down the UN weapons inspectors'
efforts to disarm Iraq peacefully, just as they were on the brink of
a new
and decisive phase of inspections. It sets out in full for the first
time
the mystery of the Most Censored Document of 2003: the UNMOVIC Draft
Work
Programme, launched and torpedoed on the day President Bush issued his
ultimatum to Saddam Hussein.

The second half of the book presents damning evidence that leading
members
of Saddam Hussein's Ba'athist regime were deliberately restored to
power in
Iraq in the first month after 'liberation'. A pattern familiar from
US and
UK policy in liberated territories after the Second World War
(documented
in REGIME UNCHANGED): denigration and demobilization of the resistance
movements and restoration of collaborators and leaders of fascist
regimes.

REGIME UNCHANGED demonstrates unequivocally that this was a war based
on
lies. This was not a war for disarmament or for 'regime change', but
for
power.
