Revisions in Need of Revising: What Went Wrong in the Iraq War

Carlisle, PA: Strategic Studies Institute U. S. Army War College, 2005. Presumed first edition/first printing. Wraps. vii, 36, [1] p. Endnotes. From an on-line posting: "The authors examine the contentious debate over the Iraq war and occupation, focusing on the critique that the Bush administration squandered an historic opportunity to reconstruct the Iraqi state. They argue that the most serious problems facing Iraq and its American occupiers criminal anarchy and lawlessness, a raging insurgency and a society divided into rival and antagonistic groups were virtually inevitable consequences that flowed from the act of war itself.
