Individuals with relevant experience or expertise were asked to name up to three books that officers or troops might find essential as they prepare to counter the insurgency in Iraq and help rebuild that nation.
The recommendation is more than 100 books advocated by active-duty and retired military leaders and defense experts in an informal survey ITP conducted late last month. The suggestions may also prove useful holiday reading for others seeking greater understanding of what may sometimes seem a confounding and intractable situation in Iraq, involving complex military, political, economic, cultural and historical dimensions.
Many respondents exceeded the three-book limit, but the poll turned up an interesting mix of titles. Unless otherwise noted, the year cited in this article is the publication date of a book’s currently available, hardcover edition.
