Review Quotes: "A work of prodigious research, Cobra II will likely become the benchmark by which other histories of the Iraq invasion are measured."--The New York Times "Magisterial . . . With mountains of fresh detail on the war's planning and progress with judicious analysis, Cobra II . . . will be hard to improve upon." --The Economist"Stands as the best account of the war to dateÉoffers an instructive lesson on the consequences of inadequate strategic planning."--The Washington Post Book World"ExcellentÉ Cobra II is everything that the Bush administration's plan for the war was not. It is meticulously organized, shuns bluff and bombast for lapidary statements, and is largely impervious to attack."--The New York Times Book Review"RemarkableÉ a classic military history of the blow-by-blow fighting to Baghdad. Cobra II makes an irrefutable case for where the laurels lay for the victors and where the blame lies for the defeats."--The Portland Oregonian
