Upon becoming Ambassador to Iraq in June of 2004, John Negroponte tapped Robert Earle to assist him and General George Casey in formulating strategy towards the growing anti-occupation insurgency. While there he also was asked by Negroponte to write a letter to President Bush explaining the failures of US policy and alternative approaches and by General Casey to assess the possible outcomes of the pending January 2005 elections, tasks he conducted while ensconced in one of Saddam Hussein's former presidential palaces in the Green Zone (dubbed the "Pink Motel"). In this memoir, Earle recalls his Iraq experiences, focusing on particular on the issues of strategy that he spent his time working on. Annotation c2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
