The definitive account of the American military's
tragic experience in Iraq from a Pulitzer Prize-winning
reporter
Thomas E. Ricks, senior Pentagon
correspondent for the Washington Post, puts forth
in Fiasco a masterful reckoning with the planning
and execution of the American military invasion and
occupation of Iraq, now with a preface on recent
developments. Ricks draws on the exclusive cooperation of
an extraordinary number of American personnel-including
more than one hundred senior officers-and access to more
than 30,000 pages of official documents, many of them
never before made public. Tragically, it is an undeniable
account-explosive, shocking, and authoritative-of
unsurpassed tactical success combined with unsurpassed
strategic failure that indicts some of America's most
powerful and honored civilian and military leaders.
