Fiasco: The American Military Adventure in Iraq
by Thomas E. Ricks
Fascinating alternative history novel, presented as a journalistic narrative. What if, instead of focusing on Afghanistan Bush had listened to the Iraq hawks instead? Some of the scenario's premises are a bit far fetched, especially the idea that there would be no plan for dealing with the occupation or that the US army would be forced to invade with woefully reduced numbers. All in all an interesting what if, even if it does seem to take the "everything that could go wrong, did" approach to it's scenario.
