..that's the title of this post at Volokh Conspiracy, a round up of NY Times quotes on the surge.
But in reading a few of the comments, I'm surprised at how few people know much of anything at all about our last two years in Iraq. On the up side, most are saying exactly that in their comments - "I don't know" vice stating some political talking point as fact.

Bing West's book is not a thin one - anyone who tells you they've read it all is someone with a lot of spare time on their hands, and most 'reviews' I've read have been reviews of the introduction. But each chapter is broken down into blog entry length sections, so it's one that can be read and pondered at your leisure. And it is the first comprehensive history of America's time in Iraq, told by a man who spent much of that time there. I suspect that as with West's earlier work I'll be quoting it frequently here.
