The Achilles Trap: Saddam Hussein, the C.I.A., and the Origins of America’s Invasion of Iraq by Steve Coll has been widely praised for its meticulous research, engaging narrative, and incisive analysis. Critics highlight it as an authoritative account of the fraught and complex relationship between the U.S. and Saddam Hussein, offering new insights into the political miscalculations and intelligence failures that culminated in the 2003 Iraq War.
