Description
Things didn't go wrong in postwar Iraq because the United States lacked a plan. Things went wrong because the United States was blinded by ideology and ignored planning that was already underway. "Losing Iraq" tells the story of the tragedy of Iraq, from the first discreet meetings to plan the political transition through the debacle the United States finally created. "Losing Iraq" is a stunning and revealing look at our recent past - with a candid take on how we can prevent this sort of tragedy happening again.
