My first book, "Iraq in Transition: The Legacies of Dictatorship and the Prospects for Democracy," was just published in June by Potomac Books. The book addresses Iraqi politics, culture, and society prior to 2003 and how its past shaped events there since the invasion. Information on it can be found at: http://www.potomacbooksinc.com/Books...oductID=203800, including endorsements by Gen Anthony Zinni, Dr. Steve Metz, Dr. Vali Nasr, and Dr. Ahmed Rashid.
