Excellent readable narrative from an expert in military affairs at the Washington Post. If you'd like to read the sad, unvarnished truth about our military brass in Iraq, here it is.

A must-read for anyone who wants to understand the fighting in Iraq. Can I say entertaining as this book grips you with fascinating insights into Military Brass and especially pertinent to the present Generals in charge of the Surge.

I first heard the book's author, Thomas Ricks interviewed by Charlie Rose and immediately purchased the book. I finished it in two days (and read it with a Map).
Learn the different divisions - the 101st and the 82nd... find out where they served. The news becomes much more relevant after reading this book with it's excellent contemporary coverage of the facts of the mechanics and people of the US in Iraq. I urge every concerned American to read this book! zuni4

I bought this book because a friend lent me his, and I was impressed with the information in the book. It justifies my feelings about this "Fiasco" the President and his tight group got us into, and that our Republican Congress was unwilling to deal with or oversee properly. It will be interesting to see if the current Congress can get us out of this mess. I am in the Miltary, am not supportive of what is happening, but more than willing to deploy to support my fellow soldiers. I am in health care.

Riveting, historical recount of the Bush/Cheney/Rumsfield foreign policy failure in Iraq and how it all came to pass. Great insight and firsthand reporting from Ricks. Excellent voice narration by James Lurie. It is tough to turn it off.

I read this book as part of my personal search into the reasons for going to Iraq. The author presents a clear case for why everything went wrong. My son served with the army in both Iraq and Afghanistan, and at some time in the future he will want answers this presentation in my opinion will be a great start. The documentation of events; the insight into the reasoning of our government's leaders and the subsequent results are clear and understandable. I highly recommend this book. Thank you.
