Losing Iraq : insurgency and politics by Stephen C Pelletiere

"Pelletier gives readers his interpretation of the American invasion of Iraq and why he thinks that Americans, including many in charge, don't understand the politics going on there....Pelletiere has written one of the clearest books available on the political situation in Iraq and how it came to exist. This book will be useful to virtually anyone trying to better understand Iraq and the Iraqi's reactions to the United States. "-MultiCultural Review
