Synopsis
Ideal for general readers as well as professionals conducting extensive research, this informative book offers a collection of documents on the origins and conduct of the Iraq War.
The Iraq War: A Documentary and Reference Guide gives readers the opportunity to investigate this costly and controversial conflict as professional researchers do―by looking closely at key samples of historical evidence. As readers will see, that evidence proves to be extraordinarily revealing about the drive to war, the course of the initial invasion, the counterinsurgency, the "surge," and the continuing difficulties in unifying and stabilizing the country.
From relevant exchanges in the 2000 Bush/Gore debates to interviews with Saddam Hussein to the latest reorganization of the Coalition Provisional Authority, The Iraq War gives readers an insider's view of the conflict's key decisions and events. Each chapter brings together primary and secondary sources on an important phase of the war, with the author providing context, analysis, and insight from a historian's perspective. The book also provides a solid framework for working with the documentary record―a particularly difficult task in this case, as so many vital sources will remain classified and inaccessible for years to come.

Reviews
Continuing Greenwood’s series of primary source reference books, this volume offers a collection of documents regarding the Iraq War from 2003 to 2011. The work rises to the challenge of covering the events in a factual, unbiased manner, featuring 97 documents organized topically into five chapters (“The Case for War,” “Shock and Awe,” “Reconstruction,” “From Conventional to Unconventional War,” and “The Rough Road to Democracy”). Side boxes feature “Did You Know?” facts and definitions. Recommended for most libraries as a good, neutral source on a timely topic. --Rebecca Vnuk
