Too late....

This book helped me to understand what my brother had been trying to say...he was sick (a Gulf War Vet...now deceased). My family thanks Seymour Hersh and any others who expose the military for what they did (and didn't do) before, during, and after the Gulf War. The book made a lot more sense than the propaganda material the gov't. has sent our family concerning questions we've had. According to the military....everything (except for the stress) occurred in "insignificant levels to have caused any diseases". Tell that to my brother now... Good job Mr. Hersh!

Against All Enemies

A very well written, well researched and well documented book on Gulf War Syndrome. It concisely answers the "Who, What, When, Where and Why" questions that many of us are asking. In doing so, it lifts the lid on one more of America's dirty little secrets. Powerful and Amazing.

Hersh: Lucid and Honest Book About Gulf War Illnesses

I am a Gulf War veteran. I've met Sy Hersh. And the book is as accurate as possible under the circumstances. Remember, the Pentagon lied to soldiers and veterans about chemical exposures involving 100,000 U.S. troops for five years, thus undermining confidence in the military leadership.The Pentagon, as of the year 2000, is spending $30 million each year on public relations to make Gulf War illnesses go away. The Pentagon still refuses to release millions of classified documents, many with information about toxic exposures.As of December 31, 1999, more than 136,000 Gulf War Veterans were on disability.In 50 years, it will be too late for the next generation to ask: "what were you doing when the U.S. Gulf War veterans and the Iraqi children were dying?"Sy Hersh dares to ask. Read the book.

Excellent reading for those having doubts about GWS

Against All Enemies backs up growing evidence that GWS is real. A "special medical report" on Gulf War Illness appears on Health News Network and confirms the link between biological agents and Gulf War Syndrome. This author, as well as others, are truly on to something.
