About this title: Apart from its tragic human toll, the Iraq War will be staggeringly expensive in financial terms. This sobering study casts a spotlight on expenses that have been hidden from the U.S. taxpayer and measures what this money would have produced if it had been invested in the economy.

Description: Fine in Very Good+ jacket. 8vo-over 7¾"-9¾" tall.

"A very thorough and seemingly honest accounting of the current and future costs associated with the United States' wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. A little on the dry side, but I suppose that is to be expected with what amounts to a ledger. Economic costs of these wars is outlined in stark detail, with great pains taken to include all costs, including the costs of medical care and opportunity costs. Authors make a convincing case for withdrawal from Iraq sooner rather than later."
"an impressive attempt to quantify the damage and costs of the current wars. includes a response to critics at the end. loads of numbers. split into a conservative estimate and a best-case scenario estimate.
lots of numbers and explanations. you can grasp most of the information by just reading the first few chapters.
recommended for anyone who just wants to consider the long-term costs of: veteran support, new weapons, an inability to respond to other issues because all resources are tied up, lowered standards for military admissions, the intelligence lost to contractors, and accountability/respectability/control/independence lost because of contractors, and much more."
"Only one thing need be said about this informative and important book. No matter how bad you thought the Bush Administration was, reading this book and Jane Mayer's "The Dark Side" about the use of torture, one right after the other as I did, will convince you that that W was much worse than anyone realized and may have done irreparable damage to our country."
