Recenzii

'Who are we fighting in iraq? Ahmed Hashim attempts to answer that question in his excellent 'Insurgency and Counter-Insurgency in Iraq'. The result is probably the best book to appear so far on the U.S. occupation - a genuine insider's account arguing that the us mission is failing and is likely doomed.' - Washington Post 'Ahmed Hashim is well-placed to study the Iraqi insurgents and their opponents. an American of Turkish-Egyptian origin, he is a professor at the naval War college in Newport, Rhode island, and was an adviser to the American authorities following Saddam Hussein's fall, both in Baghdad and in hotbeds of violence such as tel afar, near the Syrian border. - his bleak appraisal - may well be the most detailed analysis yet of the insurgency and America's efforts to squash it.' - The Economist 'Hashim has served three tours advising the US command in Iraq. His analysis of the battle from the frontline diverges sharply from the official line given by Time and similar publications, and by the BBC, and illustrates the deadly game of war and truth now being played in Iraq, with the latter usually coming off worse.' - Robert Fox, Times Literary Supplement 'The most authoritative account yet of the insurgency in Iraq. in this persuasive study, Hashim brings a clear, dispassionate analysis to bear on its component parts, the forces that keep it going and the strategies that have provoked it.' - Charles Tripp, SOAS, author, 'A History of Iraq.'
