Endgame: Solving the Iraq Problem—Once and for All

Scott Ritter


Simon & Schuster


'Yesterday's resignation by Scott Ritter, perhaps the most determined and courageous of the U.N. weapons inspectors assigned to ferret out Saddam Hussein's chemical, biological, and nuclear weapons programs, stands as a damning indictment of U.S. policy on Iraq— or perhaps more precisely, the collapse of our policy."
— The Washington Post, August 27, 1998

"In seven year's as a key U.N. inspector searching out Saddam Hussein's concealed capabilities to make weapons of mass destruction, Scott Ritter had to call on all the physical courage in him. Then ... he summoned up all his moral and intellectual courage, and resigned.
"... I hope someday his twin five-year-old girls read this job assessment of their father:
"Brave in service against state terrorism, even braver in resigning to speak truths, and admirable in the faith that his countrymen will recognize awaiting dangers, if told by those who know."
—A. M. Rosenthal, The New York Times, August 28, 1998


Scott Ritter was commissioned in the Marine Corps in 1984 and served for eight years as an intelligence officer, reaching the rank of major. He served as an arms control inspector in the former Soviet Union and on the staff of General Norman Schwarzkopf during the Gulf War before taking his position with UNSCOM. Ritter currently resides with his family in Hastings-on-Hudson, New York.
