Summary: The decision to invade Iraq launched a new doctrine of preemptive war, mired the American military in an intractable armed conflict, disrupted world petroleum supplies, cost the United States billions of dollars, and damaged or ended the lives of hundreds of thousands of Americans and Iraqis. Told through a compelling documentary narrative, with incisive editorial commentary, The Iraq Papers is the authoritative, one-volume source for understanding the way that this conflict reshaped the landscape of U.S. foreign policy and international politics. |
