Summary, etc. Covers America's involvement in Iraq from the end of the Gulf War in 1991 to mid 2006. Part One provides a useful summary of events from Gulf War One to the eve of the invasion in 2003. Part Two describes how the initial military success rapidly became bogged down by plans based on faulty assumptions - aptly if ironically described by the chapter headings "how to create an insurgency I and II". Part Three looks at the quagmire the U.S. has got into and what it can do to extricate itself and support a new Iraq at the same time.
