 The Threatening Storm by Kenneth M. Pollack
Pollack believed for many years that the United States could prevent Saddam from threatening the stability of the Persian Gulf and the world through containment—a combination of sanctions and limited military operations.
Here, Pollack explains why containment is no longer effective, and why other policies intended to deter Saddam ultimately pose a greater risk than confronting him now, before he gains possession of nuclear weapons and returns to his stated goal of dominating the Gulf region.
Pollack also analyzes the last twenty years of relations between the United States and Iraq to explain how the two countries reached the unhappy standoff that currently prevails.

Pollack was one of the very few intelligence officials to warn his superiors in the first Bush administration about Saddam's imminent invasion of Kuwait.
Saddam, as Pollack shows, "is generally not deterred by the threat of sustaining severe damage." Instead, he has a "tendency to invent outlandish scenarios that allow him to do whatever it is he wants to do, no matter how dangerous." Again, these generalization become real in Pollack's book.
Above all, Pollack gives chapter and verse substantiating the argument I made in "The Future Is Now" and especially in "Brave New World." In those pieces I maintained that nuclear proliferation tends to embolden rogue nations, even as it cows "rational" nations.

 Kenneth Pollack's The Threatening Storm - Does the "invade Iraq" book say what you think it does? By Chris Suellentrop   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-19)
Pollack's reluctant tone, his respect for doves' sincere and patriotic motives (Pollack says the term "appeasers" is a "vicious slander"), his emphasis on the humanitarian virtues of regime change, and his somewhat dismissive attitude toward the over-optimistic unilateralism of the "far right" all suggest that he was writing with a liberal audience in mind.
The Threatening Storm demonstrates that you don't have to be pro-Bush to be pro-war.
Pollack has even stated that an invasion, if not carried out skillfully enough, could be disastrous.
