After events confirmed many of his predictions, Fallows went on to write some of the most acclaimed, award-winning journalism on the planning and execution of the war, much of which has been assigned as required reading within the U.S. military.<br><br>In <i>Blind Into Baghdad</i>, Fallows takes us from the planning of the war through the struggles of reconstruction. With unparalleled access and incisive analysis, he shows us how many of the difficulties were anticipated by experts whom the administration ignored. Fallows examines how the war in Iraq undercut the larger &#8221;war on terror&#8221; and why Iraq still had no army two years after the invasion. In a sobering conclusion, he interviews soldiers, spies, and diplomats to imagine how a war in Iran might play out. This is an important and essential book to understand where and how the war went wrong, and what it means for America. 52310 15 8 2006 Blind Into Baghdad: America's War in Iraq total:25|5:10|4:9|3:5|2:1| 25 103 43 7 5 0 false false Tue May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Wed May 16 15:57:55 -0700 2007 Tue May 29 11:02:39 -0700 2007 Atlantic Monthly.
