Yet it was made possible only through the deaths of millions of European Jews and at the expense of Palestinian society--a people who would never forget what they saw as a grave injustice. Herzl's dream would prove illusory.

My Crash Course in International Diplomacy
By Michael Soussan
In 1997, Michael Soussan accepted his dream job at the United Nations Oil-for-Food program, the largest humanitarian operation in the organization's history. On March 8, 2004, in a Wall Street Journal editorial, he became the first insider to call for "an independent investigation" of the UN's dealings with Saddam Hussein. Backstabbing for Beginners is at once the darkly comic tale of one man's political coming of age, and a stinging indictment of the hypocrisy that prevailed at the heart of the world's most idealistic institution.
The Wall Street Journal listed Backstabbing for Beginners as one of the 12 best books of 2008. |

In shocking detail it shows how Halliburton and its former subsidiary Kellogg, Brown & Root (KBR) really do business in Iraq, and around the world.
