商品簡介
Mockaitis (history, DePaul U.) provides an anthology of 97 documents in the form of a reference guide for understanding the Iraq War, from the original case made for the war, the invasion, and the challenges of re-construction after the war. It also examines why the U.S. was under-prepared for it, as well as the insurgency and how a strategic response originated. Both primary and secondary sources are included in each chapter to give context, perspective, and a historian's insights to the documents. The author notes that he considers the book a starting place for readers wanting to know more about the war, and that little documentation of the insurgents' point of view of the conflict exists and that much vital information will continue to be classified and inaccessible for many years.
