Summary, etc. Nobel prize-winning economist Stiglitz and Harvard Professor Blimes present a cold clear picture of the human and economic costs (blood and treasure) of America's ill-judged war in Iraq. The figure of three trillion is only the U.S. cost, the cost to the rest of the world is estimated at another 3 trillion dollars. The analysis is particularly hard hitting on the hidden costs (e.g. of those providing long term care for injured veterans), the lost opportunity costs, and the need for better budgetary processes. Notes also the costs borne by the UK as America's chief ally, and the costs and severe impact of the war on the people of Iraq. Concludes with specific recommendations aimed a) at ensuring better information is available to decision makers in the event of America considering another war, and b) at improving the provision of benefits and services to war veterans. The final third of the book comprises appendices: G W Bush's 2001 request to Congress for war funds, DoD casualty web sites, notes on economic methodologies, common acronyms, general notes, index.
