Don Eberly, a senior official at USAID during the lead-up to the war, was recruited to serve on a post-war civil administration team, and his two years of service spanned all phases of the operation. He was, in fact, the first American civilian to make his way into Baghdad city hall after the occupation.</p><p>From that up-close perspective Eberly describes what happened in an Iraq completely battered and broken--politically, physically, and psychologically. His ground-level account reveals how the flawed approach adopted by senior officials at the Pentagon--captured in the mantra brief stay, light touch--resulted in severe troop shortages and an inadequate plan for post-war stabilization. An insiders account of what really goes on in a war zone, <em>Liberate and Leave</em> provides a personal tour of the weeks and months before and after the liberation--the secret planning process with all its complexities and doubts; attempts to set up a new government amidst lawlessness and looting; painfully vexing policy decisions set against dramatic discoveries of Saddams torture chambers and obscenely lavish personal palaces. A searing indictment of a military command utterly out of touch with practical reality, this book, written in a clear, accessible style, offers much-needed insight into how the ways of war and the ways of the world inevitably intersect--and diverge--in our day.</p>...2458160Liberate and Leave358497https://www.gandhi.com.mx/liberate-and-leave-9781616732523/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/3333578/aefa055b-a202-4db4-9375-dba990c51af8.jpg?v=638683929645500000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20099781616732523_W3siaWQiOiIyYTk4ZWI1Mi1hNGU5LTQ5YjYtYjk4OS1iNzRkMGQwYjVlMDUiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjQ5NywiZGlzY291bnQiOjEzOSwic2VsbGluZ1ByaWNlIjozNTgsImluY2x1ZGVzVGF4Ijp0cnVlLCJwcmljZVR5cGUiOiJXaG9sZXNhbGUiLCJjdXJyZW5jeSI6Ik1YTiIsImZyb20iOiIyMDI1LTAxLTA2VDIwOjAwOjAwWiIsInJlZ2lvbiI6Ik1YIiwiaXNQcmVvcmRlciI6ZmFsc2V9XQ==9781616732523_<p>If you were to talk to those who experienced the Iraq War from the inside, the word you might hear most often is surreal.
