Learn moreFrom the bestselling author of The First World War and Intelligence in War comes the most up-to-date and informed study yet of the Iraq War.
John Keegan, whom the New York Review of Books calls “the best historian of our day,” now brings his extraordinary expertise to bear on perhaps the most controversial war of our time. In exclusive interviews with Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and General Tommy Franks, John Keegan has gathered information about the war that adds immeasurably to our grasp of its causes, complications, costs, and consequences.
The Iraq War is authoritative, timely, and vitally important to our understanding of a conflict whose ramifications are as yet unknown.
John Keegan was senior lecturer in military history at the Royal Military Academy, Sandhurst, and a fellow at Princeton University. He is the author of 13 books. He lives in Wiltshire, England.
