Patrice McSherry, Jose Ramon Sanchez, Caroleen Marji Sayej Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Definitive collection of documents relating to the most important war in the post-Cold war era Well organized volume that approaches the war both thematically and chronologically Covers the war in its entirety, from its origins in neoconservative think tanks in the 1990s to the beginning of the Obama administrationThe Iraq Papers will be the most comprehensive and best-organized document collection of Americas misadventure in Iraq. The editors have organized the book around the concept of pre-emption, a policy that represented a significant break with past American foreign policy. The editors locate the intellectual origins of pre-emption in neoconservative writings from the early 1990s, and then trace how the logic of pre-emption played out across a number of arenas in the first decade of the twenty first century: the war itself, Americas relationship with its allies and the UN, its dealings with Iraqi society and successive Iraqi governments after 2003, and domestic policy in the Bush-era United States. They close with a chapter on the limits of American policy as it moves into the Obama era. There are eleven chapters in total, and ten will feature a representative selection of the most important documents relating to the origins of the war-including prominent writings by early neoconservative advocates for invasion-and the wars impact on Iraq, America, and the world. Covering more than a decade, The Iraq Papers will be a definitive source for anyone interested in understanding this enormously complicated and difficult conflict. Publisher Description No foreign policy decision in recent history has had greater repercussions than President George W. Bushs decision to invade and occupy Iraq. It launched a new doctrine of preemptive war, mired the American military in an intractable armed conflict, disrupted world petroleum supplies, cost the United States hundreds of billions of dollars, and damaged or ended the lives of hundreds of thousands of Americans and Iraqis. Its impact on international politics andAmericas standing in the world remains incalculable.The Iraq Papers offers a compelling documentary narrative and interpretation of this momentous conflict. With keen editing andincisive commentary, the book weaves together original documents that range from presidential addresses to redacted memos, carrying us from the ideology behind the invasion to negotiations for withdrawal. These papers trace the rise of the neoconservatives and reveal the role of strategic thinking about oil supplies. In moving to the planning for the war itself, the authors not only provide Congressional resolutions and speeches by President Bush, but internal security papers, Pentagon planningdocuments, the report of the Future of Iraq Project, and eloquent opposition statements by Senator Robert Byrd, other world governments, the Non-Aligned Movement, and the World Council of Churches.This collection addresses every aspect of the conflict, from the militarys evolving counterinsurgency strategy to declarations by Iraqi resisters and political figures-from Coalition Provisional Authority orders to Donald Rumsfelds dismissal of the insurgents as "dead-enders" and Iraqi discussions of state- and nationbuilding under the shadow of occupation. The economics of petroleum, the legal and ethical questions surrounding terrorism and torture, international agreements, the theory ofthe "unitary presidency," and the Bush administrations use of presidential signing statements all receive in-depth coverage.The Iraq War has reshaped the domestic and internationallandscape. The Iraq Papers offers the authoritative one-volume source for understanding the conflict and its many repercussions.
