Why was there a deliberate plan to fight the war in Iraq but none
to win the peace? This question, which has caused such confusion
and consternation among the American public and been the subject of
much political wrangling over the past two years, is the focus of
Lt. Col. Isaiah Wilson's investigation. Director of the American
politics, policy, and strategy program at West Point, Wilson points
to a flaw in the government's definition of when, how, and for what
reasons the United States intervenes abroad. It is a paradox in the
American way of peace and war, he explains, that harkens back to
America's war loss in Vietnam. The dilemma we face today in Iraq,
the author says, is the result of a flaw in how we have viewed the
war from its inception, and Wilson reminds us that Iraq is just the
latest, albeit the most poignant and tragic, case in point. His
exploration of this paradox calls for new organizational and
operational approaches to America's intervention policy. In
challenging current western societal military lexicon and doctrine,
Wilson offers new hope and practical solutions to overcome the
paradox once and for all.
