Sommario/riassunto: ""Heisenberg famously said an 'expert' is someone who knows the worst mistakes that can be made in a particular field of activity, and how to avoid them. With this book, Albert Weeks shows he's an expert, offering both a deadly accurate description of the shambles we made of the second Iraq War, and a healing prescription that is mandatory reading for everyone interested in national security.'""
