Iraq by Sir Jeremy Greenstock
After the war he was Special Envoy for Iraq, the UKs highest authority on the ground, and he worked side by side with Paul Bremer, the US administrator of the Coalition Provisional Authority, in Baghdad and saw first-hand the impact of the divisive turf wars back in Washington.
"It would be mistaken to treat this book simply as an archaeological curiosity. . [It] offers vivid testimony about British relations with America, that thorny evergreen . . . Anybody who nurses delusions that clout can be purchased in Washington by accepting its leads on foreign policy should read Greenstock for a corrective." -- Max Hastings * Sunday Times *
"[Jeremy Greenstock] is by general acknowledgement one of the most talented diplomats of his generation. Iraq: The Cost of War amply demonstrates why." * Financial Times *
"A fascinating instruction manual for students of diplomacy and of the way we are governed." * The Times *
