WMD

Synopsis

It's 2002; America and the UK are pushing hard to invade Iraq. Intelligence sources indicate Saddam has stockpiles of biochemical weapons ready for immediate launch; the perfect justification for war.
But when Alex Morgan - an ordinary MI6 desk officer - uncovers deliberate flaws in the evidence being used to support invasion he must decide whether to risk his career and even his own safety to expose the truth.

A fictional account inspired by real events, WMD reveals what intelligence circles really knew in the build up for war. Does Saddam Hussein possess Weapons of Mass destruction? Does it matter?

'In times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act' (George Orwell).
