New from Edinburgh University Press: The Road to Iraq: American Neoconservatism and the Iraq War by Muhammad Idrees Ahmad.About the book, from the publisher:
What were the causes of the Iraq War? Who were the main players? How was the war sold to the decision makers?

The Road to Iraq is an empirical investigation that dispels this fog.--Marshal Zeringue
