From the Pentagon to the White House to the American command centers in the field, the book reveals the inside story of how the war was actually planned and fought. Drawing on classified United States government intelligence, it traces the interactions among the generals, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, and President George W. Bush; provides an account of how Saddam Hussein and his high command developed and prosecuted their war strategy; reconstructs the principal battles from interviews with those who fought them; and documents with precision the failures of American intelligence and the mistakes in administering postwar Iraq. --From publisher description. 000307741 650_0 $$aIraq War, 2003-2011. 000307741 7001_ $$aTrainor, Bernard E.,$$d1928-2018. 000307741 85200 $$bgen$$hDS79.76$$i.G67$$i2006 000307741 85642 $$3Publisher description$$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0625/2005051841-d.html 000307741 85642 $$3Contributor biographical information$$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0633/2005051841-b.html 000307741 85641 $$3Sample text$$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0659/2005051841-s.html 000307741 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:307741$$pGLOBAL_SET 000307741 980__ $$aBIB 000307741 980__ $$aBOOK 000307741 994__ $$aC0$$bISE
