"Essential listening..." Why the US and UK went to war in Iraq and its legacy. Gordon Corera investigates.
Twenty years ago a US-led coalition invaded Iraq to overthrow Saddam Hussein. The UK was America's main partner. For many it remains a war based on a lie. So why did it happen?

Really good documentary, broken down into (roughly) 20-minute chunks. Tony Blair is among the guests, and he says his piece about the WMD and other aspects. What I wasn’t aware of is that Blair actually had a perfect get-out clause before he committed the UK to the war - which, alas, he didn’t take. All in all, well worth a listen.
No big surprises here but lots of primary interview content from the main players at the time. Thoroughly enjoyed every episode
Episodes too short, between the ads the teaser for the next ep there’s barely 15 minutes of content in some eps.
Excellent podcast. But I found it difficult to stomach the rationale that was so clearly flawed. Richard Dearlove despite the evidence & hindsight still insisting that there were chem weapons. The fact that it’s so easy for US & it’s allies to destroy other countries is sickening.
Definitely worth listening to. Super work everybody involved in putting it together.
