Diamond Larry
Squandered Victory: The American Occupation And Bungled Effort To Bring Democracy To Iraq
Westminister Maryland U.S.A.: Times Books 2005. 369pp/map. In late 2003 Stanford University professor and democracy expert Larry Diamond was personally asked by his former colleague Condoleezza Rice to serve as an advisor to the Coalition Provisional Authority in Iraq a position he accepted with equal parts "hesitation and conviction." He opposed the initial invasion of Iraq but "supported building the peace" and felt the U.S. had a moral imperative to reconstruct Iraq as a democratic and prosperous nation. Before going to Iraq he had serious doubts about whether the U.S. could actually do this--an opinion that was solidified after spending three months working with the CPA. Squandered Victory is his insider's examination of what went wrong in Iraq after the initial invasion. Clean. First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine/Fine. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. Times Books hardcover
