THE IRAQ PAPERS, by Ehrenberg, McSherry, Sánchez, and Sayej, eds., Oxford University Press, 2010.

THE IRAQ PAPERS is a documentary reader focused on the George W. Bush policy of preemption and its application in both foreign and domestic policy. The book examines numerous facets of the war in Iraq, including its origins in neoconservative thinking and its deeper roots in theories of rollback during the Cold War and earlier patterns of U.S. intervention. The book includes comprehensive historical and contextual analysis and features a collection of key primary documents, exploring the war's impact on international relations, the Middle East, human rights and international law, and democracy at home.
