Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

The war in Iraq is a divisive issue in the United States, and historians and pundits will spend decades examining the conflicts causes, conduct, and consequences. Iraq Uncensored, an initiative of the bipartisan American Security Project (ASP), is neither pro-war nor anti-war, but an effort to begin to develop collective wisdom from our experience. Cutting across gender, generational, and party lines, ASP engaged leading figures from across American society to take a fresh look at the war in Iraq and offer unique perspectives on lessons for us to consider about the use of American power in all its forms. With thought-provoking contributions from more than two-dozen military and congressional leaders, members of the media, academics, religious thinkers, and many others, the book begins an open dialogue about who we are as a people and how we can best achieve our security.
