DRAWING ON THE EXCLUSIVE COOPERATION of an extraordinary number of American military personnel, including more than one hundred senior officers, and access to more than thirty thousand pages of official documents, many of them never betöre made public, Thomas E. Ricks has written the definitive accountexplosive, shocking, and authoritativeof the American military's tragic experience in Iraq. Previous books on the Iraq war have concluded in the summer of 2003, not long after the spring invasion, code-named Cobra II. And certainly understanding the crippling Strategie mistakes inherent in the build-up and execution of this Erst phase of combat in Iraq is essential, and Fiasco has much new to contribute to our understanding of the failures of both the civilian and military leadership to take even a minimally adequate long view. But the heart of the story Fiasco has to teil, which has never been told before, is that of a military occupation whose leaders failed to see a blooming insurgency for what it was and as a result led their soldiers in such a way that the insurgency became inevitable. If Americas top military Commanders had set out to create an Iraqi insurgency, they could hardly have done a better job, not least by countenancing the random arrest and imprisonment of wide swaths of Iraqi men in the most humiliating of conditions. One of this book's many revelations is that "Abu Ghraib" is a misnomer because it suggesaässe into the insurgency. ISBN 9781594201035 Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 817. Artikel-Nr. 1143456
