The 2003 Iraq War: Operations, Causes, and Consequences

This book discusses the overt as well as the covert reasons behind the Iraqi war, in addition to its different objectives. It also discusses the course of the war and its aftermath including the consequences of the war on the political, economic, social, and humanitarian levels
