"Rudd's authoritative account held my interest all the way through.
It is a detailed, convincing, and finally infuriating dissection of
a major policy disaster."--James Fallows, author of Blind into
Baghdad: America's War in Iraq"A devastating account of the
haphazard preparation for the liberation and occupation of Iraq
that should be required reading in America's war colleges. . . . We
ignore Rudd's lessons at our peril."--Peter Mansoor, author of
Baghdad at Sunrise: A Brigade Commander's War in Iraq"A must read,
packed with insights and anecdotes, conflicts and
controversy."--James Dobbins, coauthor of Occupying Iraq: A History
of the Coalition Provisional Authority
"What is new is Rudd's scrupulously detailed account of the U.S.
failure, down to the background of nearly every identified U.S.
actor, along with a discussion of their political and bureaucratic
interests and ties."--H-Net Reviews"This first-class history serves
an important policy function by documenting how mistakes transpired
and how they might be avoided in the future. Highly
recommended."--Choice"Readable and accessible, this is a good
choice for general readers interested in our recent involvement in
Iraq and for academic libraries collecting
comprehensively."--Library Journal
