Five Years

Today marks a solemn milestone. Five years ago the war in Iraq (then referred to as “Operation Iraqi Freedom”) began. Since then, much has been written about every facet of the American presence in Iraq, from scathing critiques to more conciliatory tomes. Some books are very detailed and researched, but the out and out diatribe gets a fair share of shelf space as well. The writers vary from being soldiers, grieving parents, activists, pundits, historians, and policy wonks.

While radically different view points are the common theme of what is listed above, please look through the wealth of information we have available from all perspectives to understand more about this important time in our history.
