Customer Reviews

A crusader for justice

George Galloway lives up to his usual brilliance in this book.A brilliant orator who dosnt pul any punches.A spade will always be a spade to George.If he was a politician in my country he would have my vote.The world needs to wake up to what is going on, but alas this will not happen as the media has been hi jacked and the public in general are like sheep.To all lovers of truth this book is highly recomended.

US Congress embarrased

Faced with allegations of profiting from the oil for food program in Iraq, Galloway sucessfully demonstrats the hypocracy of US policy of supplying arms to the region resulting in the destruction of Iraq and the death of thousands of innocent civilians. At the same time he clears his name of any wrongdoing by explaining the mechanism of his charitable organization which is designed to assist Iraq.

George is a clever guy

George Galloway is probably the most decent MP in British history. This guy is courageous, well spoken, stays on message all the way long, and debates extremely well (I watched him defeat Hitchens the Popinjay). His arguments are simple but powerful. His prediction that the Iraq War would be launched on a pack of lies was highly accurate. His ideas on the causes of terrorism and that British and American foreign policies need reversal are highly relevant. In short: Keep up the good work george...!.

Mr. Galloway knows what he is talking about.......I love this man!!!

All those who saw Mr. Galloway on CSPAN when he was at the US Congress and have also read his book and given this book 1 or 2 or 3 stars are part of the Republican machines in the United States who when they find out that anyone is against the Iraq war and also against the Bush administration try in any way they can to critize the person or thier products. This book is the best out there. It talks about the facts and the truth. And I know very well that you Republicans don't want to hear about the truth as to why we went to this illegal and unnecessary war. The whole world is suffering be'cos of the policies of this Bush administration. For those of who haven't read this book yet, please get yourself a copy and you'll know what I am talking about. I love this book!!!!!!!!!!!!

A must read! Very Entertaining!!!

A great and entertaining read! A must read! Mr. Hitchens is an opportunist that cannot be taken seriously...he is against the dictator of Baghdad because of this and that while at the same time he was against the first gulf war..at that time the genocide of the Kurds was only 3-4 years old! And yet he was against the war. Although to his credit Hitchens has always supported the Palestinian cause, as demonstrated by his appearance (and friendship) with Edward Said in "Blaming the Victims" and the PLO...although I do have to admit that one must be consistent. How can we trust someone who has flipped in such a dramatic way? So he gets an F for consistency and seriousness, and an A+ for rightly supporting the Palestinian cause as any serious intellectual does. Galloway has been consistent throughout his public career, and if he has changed he changes in order to stay true to his fundamental beliefs of peace and equity. Galloway indeed went to congress and for the first time voiced what so many of us have wanted voiced to the Senators. A great read! Well done! Anyone that can actually support the war in Iraq has read little about the history of Iraq or the middle-east, is not well traveled, and is living in a bubble..oh! that's called being an American. What a shame.
