Based on dramatic first-hand evidence, Deadly Betrayal uncovers why and how a cabal of Pentagon Advisors in the George W. Bush Administration created a fabricated justification to attack Iraq.

The book provides a detailed insider account of how a Pentagon cabal strategized to manipulate intelligence, pressure the United Nations, force a Congressional authorization for the use of force through political threats, and scare the American people after 9/11 into supporting an attack on Iraq.

Authored by a Pentagon insider and senior enlisted leader of nearly three decades standing, Command Chief Master Sergeant, Retired, Dennis Fritz worked directly for and advised some of the most senior General Officers in the Department of Defense. They included General Richard B. Myers, who served as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff during the height of the Iraq War. After military retirement, Fritz found himself inside Donald Rumsfeld's Pentagon working for Douglas Feith, the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy and key architect of the case for war. He was detailed to the Pentagon as a contracted Research Fellow and Analyst on a special project to gather and review all Iraqi Pre-War Planning Documents for declassification. His access to thousands of personal handwritten notes, documents, and Pentagon's internal conversations, has allowed him to tell the real story of why America invaded Iraq.

Reviews for Deadly Betrayal: The Truth of Why We Invaded Iraq

Written by a respected military leader and Pentagon insider, Deadly Betrayal is a gutsy tell-all story about the bald-faced lies that led us to the disastrous invasion of Iraq. —Ben Cohen, Co-founder of Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream This book is an actual act of service. It will help many people, including veterans, connect the dots to explain this century's American wars and give them further permission to ask tough and uncomfortable questions. —Matthew Hoh, former Marine Corps officer and Iraq War veteran who resigned his State Department position in Afghanistan over that war's 2009 escalation.
