Squandered Victory, The American Occupation And the Bungled Effort to Bring Democracy to Iraq

by Larry Diamond

  • HISTORY
  • 2006
  • PAPER
  • 395 PAGES

Diamond's provocative first-hand account of how the American effort to establish democracy in Iraq was hampered not only by insurgents and terrorists but also by a long chain of miscalculations, missed opportunities and acts of ideological blindness that helped assure that the transition to independence would be neither peaceful nor entirely democratic.  (IRQ22, $17.00)
