Product Description
A hardcover copy, Penguin , 2006 of US Pentagon journalist and author Thomas E Ricks of the consequences of the US military invasion and subsequent occuption of Iraq, and the huge subsuquent insurgency it created.
Cutting through the headlines and spin, this is the first book to give us a true picture of the reality on the ground, through the words of the people there - from commanders to intelligence officers, army doctors to ordinary soldiers. Providing eye-witness accounts that contradict the official stories and figures, they give a chilling picture of the deceit, stupidity, wishful thinking, lack of forward planning and total intellectual failure of those behind the invasion. The result is an extraordinary new insight into the plight of ordinary soldiers doing nightmarish jobs, and the real nature of the fighting in Iraq.
Condition - light yellowing to the page block, otherwise unmarked .
