The Assassins' Gate, The Book

"I was reluctant to read this book when it was first recommended to me. Now that I read it, I wish I took the advice earlier. George Packer's excellent writing style made this book a smooth read even with the enormous amount of information he presented. I'm not surprised it was a 2006 Pulitzer Prize finalist in the General Non-Fiction category.

George explained in detail how Iraq's plan for regime change was presented to former president Bill Clinton in 1998. Clinton figured post-war Iraq wouldn't be rosy. So, he let the plan collect dust. I don't need to tell you who wrote the plan. You probably figured it out yourself."
