Maggiori informazioni sul libro

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 <i>Washington Post</i>, puts forth in <i>Fiasco</i> a masterful reckoning with the planning &amp; execution of the American military invasion &amp; 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--&amp; 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 &amp; authoritative--of unsurpassed tactical success combined with unsurpassed strategic failure that indicts some of America's most powerful &amp; honored civilian &amp; military leaders.
