“Along with R. Clark’s and B. Woodwards books on this subject, I now feel like I have a pretty good idea about what happened after 9/11 and during the march to war in Iraq. This book has great details about the real snafu in the Bush administration as well as in the military field. All three books show that although our forces tried to win the war, there was no plan for attacking an insurgency or for helping the country after the attack. It saddens me that, after losing so many innocent lives during 9/11, the tragedy was compounded by so many innocent lives being lost during this unnecessary war. This book ends in 2006…I would like to think that the lessons starting to be learned in 2006 were put to use in the years since then. Rumsfield, Wolfowitz, Cheney, Bremer, Rice, Powell, and Tommy Franks should be held accountable for this sham. Bush, unfortunately, is protrayed as an out-of-touch commander in chief in all three books.”
