NY, Public Affairs, (2003). 1st ed 1 pts. VG in VG DJ. Vital mistakes in pre & post war planning cost billions of dollars but went unnoticed. More American troops died after. the war was declared over than during the fighting. Most flawed was the logic that an attack on Iraq should become the key to American security. Clark shows it was not.

A new approach to winning this war is in order, and urgently needed.
