dc.description	Joseph Stiglitz and Linda Bilmes. (2008), The Three Trillion Dollar War. The True<br />Cost of the Iraq Conflict. London: Penguin. 311 pages. In April 2008, Paul Wolfowitz admitted that the US was “pretty much clueless<br />on counterinsurgency” during the first year of the Iraq War. This confession says<br />much about the ongoing war in that country. At that time, it will be remembered,<br />Wolfowitz was the US Deputy Secretary for Defence and together with his boss, the<br />then Secretary of Defence, Donald Rumsfeld, was a leading “Neo-Con” (Neo-<br />Conservative) – as this ever more notorious thread of American foreign policy<br />thinking has been called.<br />Six years on – and well over a million Americans and Iraqis dead – the truth is,<br />at last, seeping through about the invasion of Iraq, its immediate aftermath and the<br />drawn-out war.
