About this title: Anthony Shadid, a Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter for the Washington Post, tells firsthand of his encounters with Iraqi citizens, reporting their views of the American occupation. It is clear, in Mr. Shadid's view, that the U.S.'s initial stunning military victory was followed by a post-invasion failure. He balances his views with a recognition that many Iraqis are grateful that Saddam is out of power, and he expresses guarded optimism over signs of progress such as the elections and the process toward a constitution. However, the Americans, he says, clearly were without a plan, and this has ...

"Reading it was a breath-taking experience.. but listening to Shadid reading from his book was magical .. i saw him not reading from the book .. it was his feelings .. he was back to Iraq every time he start reading a paragraph .. magical ,,,"
"This book was on Newsweeks 50 books you should read so I read it. Even though it was not suprising it still made me angry. Another lost opportunity for America just like Afghanistan. If you start a war to depose a dictator then you should have a plan for what you are going to do after you have deposed that dictator--and we didn't. It was doomed from the start it seems like. We didn't/don't understand their culture at all it appears. I had a hard time getting through it. I don't think it was really that well written. I only finished it because I was determined to."
"Confined to the green zone, a small secure space in Baghdad, american military personnel carry out their uncertain mission. America invaded the country with an ignorance of its culture and its people. Once the invasion was launched, america blew the chance to actually help the Iraqi people and restore peace in the country."
