Full Spectrum Dominance: U.S. Power in Iraq and Beyond

by Rahul Mahajan

In this compelling big-picture assessment of the U.S. war on Iraq, Mahajan combines his experience as an anti–Iraq sanctions activist with a keen analysis of U.S. foreign policy in the post–Cold War era to provide the analysis that has been overlooked in the mainstream debate. Situating Iraq within the larger context of post-9/11 foreign policy, he analyzes the Bush National Security Strategy and the new neoconservative vision of achieving increasing degrees of global domination and control. Presented with unflinching clarity, Mahajan’s research demonstrates that the war on Iraq was part of a much larger plan, assembled before 9/11 and, as stated by the Project for a New American Century, needing only a "new Pearl Harbor" to implement it.

Dont underestimate it by cover and size. Well presented the veiled picture of war on terrorism.

Only time for a short word here...
A brilliantly pithy assessment of facts and causes which leads the US to be such an overbearing international foe.
Take away the assumption that they are supposed to be the "good guys" and then look at this book.
Mahajan's precision is like an ICBM and it's a great book for referring back to, for timeline information and reminding ourselves of the difficulty of one global power which is also a nation.
