| Synopsis The first book of its kind to chronicle the reasons behind Iraq's
descent into guerilla war, warlord rule, criminality and anarchy, No End In Sight is a shocking story of wholesale incompetence, recklessness and venality.
Culled from over 200 hours of footage collected for the film, the book
provides a candid and alarming retelling of the events following the
fall of Baghdad in 2003 by high ranking officials, Iraqi civilians,
American soldiers, and prominent analysts. Together, these voices
reveal the principal errors of U.S. policy that largely created the
insurgency and chaos that engulf Iraq today--and what we could and
should do about them now. No End In Sight marks the
first time Americans will be allowed inside the White House, Pentagon,
and Baghdad's Green Zone to understand for themselves the
disintegration of Iraq-- and how arrogance and ignorance turned a
military victory into a seemingly endless and deepening nightmare of a
war.
