Bush's Wars by Terry H Anderson
Carefully researched and briskly narrated, Bush's Wars is a single-volume, balanced history of of Operation Iraqi Freedom and its long aftermath.
"Thoroughly researched and written in compelling prose, this first scholarly history of the United States' war in Iraq provides a searing and persuasive critique of the way the George WBush administration drove this nation into a war of choice and grossly mismanaged the ensuing conflict. Author Terry Anderson also skillfully juxtaposes the naive illusions of the war's perpetrators with the intractable indigenous forces in Iraq that continue to shape its outcome. Highly recommended."--George C. Herring, author of From Colony to Superpower: U.S. Foreign Relations since 1776 "Journalists have given us their take on the conflicts of the George W. Bush era; now Terry Anderson provides the historian's perspective. Essential reading for students and the general public; experts can learn a thing or two as well."--H. W. Brands, author of Traitor to His Class: The Privileged Life and Radical Presidency of Franklin Delano Roosevelt "Terry Anderson has written the first comprehensive history of the wars George W. Bush visited upon the world. Read it and weep..."--Marilyn B. Young, author of The Vietnam Wars, 1945-1990
