Critics' reviews

"Staggeringly vivid and persuasive . . . absolutely essential reading." —Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times

"The best account yet of the entire war." —Vanity Fair

Most relevant

Great author, great book, excellent reader. Tom Ricks shows again to show the big picture behind the history of the Iraq occupation with enough vivid detailed examples to easily grasp it while emphatizing with people affected by it, US soldiers and Iraqi civilians alike.

Great insight into leadership dynamics
