  “This book should be required reading for anyone who thinks that just because we are the worlds only superpower that we can fix the wrongs of the world with force.
  Wining a war is easy. Wining the peace is hard and brutal struggle

  “This book left me feeling defeated. Ricks did a great job summarizing what went wrong in the early days of the war in Iraq as well as during the planning leading up to it. The clear refusal to analyze cold, hard reality versus what leaders in both the military and government desired left me chilled and bitter.”

  “This is solid but if you've red another book on this subject, then you already know how botched the occupation was, and you probably don't need to feed your rage by reading this too.”
