In His Own Words: Barry Lando

I have just completed a book, WEB OF DECEIT: The History of Western Complicity Iraq from Churchill to Kennedy to George W. Bush.

The book is a greatly expanded version of a one hour documentary I made with French reporter, Michel Despratx, for Canal + in France in October 2004, “The Trial of Saddam Hussein, the Trial You’ll Never See”. That report dealt with the hypocrisy of putting Saddam and his lieutenants on trial without also delving into the role that foreign leaders and businessmen played in aiding and abetting the former dictator–and his crimes. The documentary was subsequently broadcast in several countries, but not in the United States.

My journalistic experience includes 25 years as a producer with CBS “60 Minutes”, which I left in 1997. Prior to that I was a correspondent for Time-Life in South America. I have also freelanced articles over the years for a large range of North American and European publications.
I received a B.A. magna in History at Harvard and an M.A. in political science from Columbia University. A Canadian citizen (born in Vancouver), I currently live in Paris with my wife and 14 year old son. Two older children live and work in the U.S. and Canada.
