Michael Rubin, an occasional contributor to THE WEEKLY STANDARD (most recently he authored this piece on privatizing the CIA) and the editor of Middle East Quarterly, has written an excellent essay on some of the many books that have come out of the war in Iraq. Rubin reviews a wide range of books that touch on nearly every aspect of the war, including the pre-war planning, the embed system, and the troop numbers debate. In any case, Rubin’s review is as impressive as it is comprehensive. Certainly worth checking out.
