Imperial Life in the Emerald City: Inside Iraq"s Green Zone

Imperial Life in the Emerald City: Inside Iraq"s Green Zone by Rajiv Chandrasekaran, 320 pages

A damning account of the choices made by the US government immediately after the ouster of Saddam Hussein. Originally published in 2006, this book still makes many lists of the best on the extended conflict. Chandrasekaran, a Washington Post correspondent and editor, convincingly makes the case that most of the important decisions were made base on neo-con ideology, regardless of their real-world implications and consequences.
