Haunted Victory The American Crusade to Destroy Saddam and Impose Democracy on Iraq

"In "Haunted Victory" William Nester recounts the machinations used by the neoconservatives in the Bush administration to launch this unnecessary war and analyzes its impact on the hearts and minds of Americans and Arabs. Nester s book is unique in carrying the continuing impact of the Iraq War into the Obama administration and in speculating on the future of Iraq. A thoroughly researched and smoothly written narrative, this book may well count as the last word on one of America s worst foreign policy blunders."
