The Assassins' Gate: America in Iraq by George Packer
5.0
I have never been more angry, depressed, and disgusted after reading a book.
This was definitely a difficult book to get through not in terms of reading level, but the subject matter. Thousands of lives lost, millions of dollars wasted, goodwill and trust destroyed - all due to criminal negligence in planning a war and the post-war.
With the war hawks looking to get into the Middle East again and all that's going on with ISIS, this book is a must read for anyone curious about how this recent FUBAR started.
The authors interview on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.
