2006.10.01 Thomas B. Ricks, Fiasco: The Military Adventure in Iraq. New York: Penguin, 2006. Pp. xiv, 482. ISBN 159420103X. Review by Nathaniel R. Helms, St. Charles, MO (natshouse1@charter.net) In Fiasco: The Military Adventure in Iraq, Washington Post reporter Thomas E. Ricks uses the certainty of a Pulitzer Prize winner to pass judgment on President George W. Bushs administration for bringing on the Iraq War and then promptly losing it. In the end, Ricks determines that Americas best chance for claiming success is interminable occupation and insurrection in Iraq and its worst nightmare a modern-day Saladin riding out of an apocalyptic flame to settle an unsatisfied twelfth-century Muslim score with weapons of mass destruction. Somewhere in the middle is defeat and disgrace. Ricks uses Fiascos 439 pages to mount wickedly precise attacks on the Bush administrations conduct of the Iraqi war. The book follows his thirty-month campaign of hard shots at Mr. Bush in the Ebook Relate: ricks ebook military ebook fiasco ebook adventure ebook thomas ebook the military ebook fiasco the ebook military adventure ebook ricks uses ebook the military adventure ebook pulitzer prize winner ebook post reporter thomas ebook |
