?[F]ar better than anyone would have had reason to expect....People
who already know the difference between a WMD (weapon of mass
destruction) and WCMD (wind-corrected munitions dispenser) will
find it essential as a reference.?-Military History
?[P]resents an almost encyclopedic collection of data, mostly from
official releases, and laces it with generally well-reasoned
judgments regarding validity, accuracy, and significance. This is
no mean accomplishment given that Iraqi Freedom was the most
information-controlled conflict involving U.S. forces since World
War II....[w]ill arm any wonk, lobbyist, student, and citizen with
facts and opinions sufficient to dominate any decision meeting or
cocktail party.?-Joint Forces Quarterly
?A thorough, information-laden presentation, The Iraq War is a very
highly recommended and timely addition to Military History
reference collections and reading lists.?-Wisconsin Bookwatch
?Cordesman's book will likely be the definitive work on the war in
Iraq.... This jewel of a book will be a valuable acquisition for
university, professional, and private libraries. Essential.
Upper-division undergraduates and above interested in strategic
studies and military history.?-Choice
?One does not approach a book by Anthony Cordesman with the
expectation of light reading, but his extraordinary industry and
productivity, along with his clear and independent analytical
judgment, command attention.?-Foreign Affairs
?Thorough in his analysis, Cordesman examines the breadth and depth
of the war from the strategic to tactical operations as well as
from the Iraqi side. This study will no doubt shape many of the
national security arguments for the near future as others attempt
either to support or to destroy Cordesman's persuasive analysis....
Highly recommended for academic and military libraries.?-Library
