Brilliant overview

Although this book is now a couple of years out of date, it remains a wonderful, and readable, account of the quite unbelievable American (and British) incompetence in Iraq. (The man who was to be in charge of the whole of the country following the invasion was trying to read up on Iraqi history while he was on his way there!) Galbraith knows his subject very well and is able to provide the necessary background history to the conflict. It makes a wonderful companion to Imperial Life in the Emerald City.

The End of Iraq is very informative, thought-provoking and well written. The author uses his first hand experience of Iraq over the past decades, as well as reminding the reader of the events before and since 2003 and adding analysis.
Galbraith describes in detail all of the terrible mistakes made by the Americans and how this has created a complete mess that has led to civil war and could lead to a regional war. He argues convincingly that a unified Iraq is impossible and a three-state solution is possibly the only way to deal with the civil war.
