Description
Award-winning reporter Jonathan Steele reveals U.S. decision-makers’ disastrous mistake of underestimating the complexity of Iraqi society and the deep well of proud nationalism that was bound to produce resistance. Blending vivid reportage, informed analysis, and powerful historical narrative, Defeat recounts the catastrophe that resulted from this arrogance, which will forever resonate in the darkest chapters of American and British history.
