About “The Iraq War”
The Iraq War is a study of the ongoing conflict, examining the invasion of Iraq, the strategy of American and British forces in capturing Baghdad, and the transition from the quick victory over the Republican Guard to the more tenacious opposition that followed. It analyzes the intelligence used by the Bush and Blair administrations to justify the war, which has since been strongly challenged, and assesses the consequences of the conflict, including the display of American power and the uncertainty surrounding weapons of mass destruction and regime change.
