In the autumn of 2002, Atlantic Monthly national
correspondent James Fallows wrote an article predicting many
of the problems America would face if it invaded Iraq. After
events confirmed many of his predictions, Fallows went on to
write some of the most acclaimed, award-winning journalism
on the planning and execution of the war, much of which has
been assigned as required reading within the U.S.
military.
In Blind Into Baghdad, Fallows takes
us from the planning of the war through the struggles of
reconstruction. With unparalleled access and incisive
analysis, he shows us how many of the difficulties were
anticipated by experts whom the administration ignored.
Fallows examines how the war in Iraq undercut the larger
â€war on terror†and why Iraq still had no army two years
after the invasion. In a sobering conclusion, he interviews
soldiers, spies, and diplomats to imagine how a war in Iran
might play out. This is an important and essential book to
understand where and how the war went wrong, and what it
means for America.
