Bush and prominent 'neoconservatives' and 'unilateralists' on his national security team. Despite the widespread appeal of this version of history, Frank P. Harvey argues that it remains an unsubstantiated assertion and an underdeveloped argument without a logical foundation. His book aims to provide a historically grounded account of the events and strategies which pushed the US-UK coalition towards war. The analysis is based on both factual and counterfactual evidence, combines causal mechanisms derived from multiple levels of analysis and ultimately confirms the role of path dependence and momentum as a much stronger explanation for the sequence of decisions that led to war. 606 $aIraq War, 2003-2011$xCauses 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$y2001-2009 615 0$aIraq War, 2003-2011$xCauses. 676 $a956.7044/31 700 $aHarvey$b Frank P.$0573670 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910458051803321 996 $aExplaining the Iraq War$92464099 997 $aUNINA LEADER 05828nam 2200709Ia 450 001 9910451317903321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a1-281-89865-1 010 $a9786611898656 010 $a981-270-260-1 035 $a(CKB)1000000000334367 035 $a(EBL)296263 035 $a(OCoLC)437181975 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000257943 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11200605 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000257943 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10255365 035 $a(PQKB)11286629 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC296263 035 $a(WSP)00005588 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL296263 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10174077 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL189865 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000334367 100 $a20041206d2003 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 00$aTheoretical and computational acoustics 2003$b[electronic resource] $eHonolulu, Hawaii, 11-15 August 2003 /$feditors, Alexandra Tolstoy, Yu-Chiung Teng, E.C.
