My guest this week is Steve Coll. Steve is a senior editor at The Economist and he has written nine books. He has won the Pulitzer Prize not once, but twice. His most recent book is about Saddam Hussein, the CIA and America's invasion of Iraq. It is called The Achilles Trap.
In this episode, we talk about Saddam Hussein's childhood, chemical weapons use against Iran, and a series of miscalculations that ultimately led to war. I had lot of fun talking to Steve, and the discussion is relevant beyond America and Iraq, because misunderstanding the opposite side can still lead to tragedy. Let's go.

Beschreibung

Hey, it’s Marcel Dirsus. I’m a political scientist and this is The Next Best, my podcast.
The world is complex, dangerous and confusing. To make sense of it all, I talk to authors, historians, diplomats and spies.
Together, we’re going to learn about nuclear weapons, sanctions, targeted killings and much more.
Let’s go.
