Description
This book provides a list of critical questions about American conduct in the world and offers some answers in the form of key lessons from Iraq. A diverse group of writers, including economists, politicians, and journalists, come together to share their insights and experiences.
They aim to provide a ready reference handbook that draws some lines around its conduct of war, one that can help us think again about our approach to conflict. With the current war in Iraq serving as a turning point, this book offers a timely compilation of key points that urgently need rethinking.
