War Of Necessity : War Of Choice : A Memoir Of Two Iraq Wars

Attribution
by Richard N. HaassPublication Details
BookSimon & Schuster2009Links
Description
When should the United States go to war? The first Iraq war, following Saddam Hussein’s invasion of neighboring Kuwait, was a war of necessity. By contrast, the second Iraq war was one of choice, the most significant discretionary war undertaken by the United States since Vietnam. War of Necessity, War of Choice — part history, part memoir — provides invaluable insight into some of the most important recent events in the world. It also provides a much-needed compass for how the United States can apply the lessons learned from the two Iraq wars so that it is better positioned to put into practice what worked and to avoid repeating what so clearly did not.

Making peace in the long-troubled Middle East is likely to be one of the top priorities of the next American president. He will need to take account of the important lessons from past attempts, which are described and analyzed here in a gripping book by a renowned expert who served twice as U.S. ambassador to Israel and as Middle East adviser to President Clinton. He describes in vivid detail high-level meetings, demonstrating how difficult it is for American presidents to understand the motives and intentions of Middle Eastern leaders and how easy it is for them to miss those rare moments when these leaders are willing to act in ways that can produce breakthroughs to peace.

Inside The Presidential Debates : Their Improbable Past And Promising Future
They Knew They Were Right : The Rise Of The Neocons

Attribution
Jacob HeilbrunnPublication Details
Book1st edDoubleday2008Links
Description
The neocons have become at once the most feared and reviled intellectual movement in American history. How did an obscure band of policy intellectuals, left for dead in the 1990s, suddenly rise to influence the Bush administration and revolutionize American foreign policy? Jacob Heilbrunn wittily and pungently depicts the government officials, pundits, and think-tank denizens who make up this controversial movement, bringing them to life against a background rich in historical detail and political insight. Decisively shaped by the immigrant exerience and the trauma of the Holocaust, they rose from the margins of political life to become an insurgent counter-establishment that challenged the old WASP foreign policy elite. Far from being chastened by the Iraq debacle, the neocons continue to guide foreign policy. (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)Availability
