The American military is a tightly sealed community that few outsiders are able to penetrate. But many senior officers shared their true thoughts and sentiments about the Iraq war with renowned Washington Post military reporter Thomas E. Ricks.
In "Fiasco: The American Military Adventure in Iraq," Ricks combines
these astonishing on-the-record military accounts with his own
on-the-ground reportage for an account of the war thus far.
As many in the military publicly acknowledge in this book for the first
time, the guerrilla insurgency that exploded several months after
Saddam's fall was not foreordained. In fact, many assert that
thoughtful planning could have averted much of the insurgency.
