Washington Post
"Francona's first hand telling of the Safwan talks at the end of the war, when the coalition leadership met with Iraqi generals, is riveting. The utter Iraqi defeat, and the regime's tentative control of much of its own territory is powerful rebuttal to the excuses of Powell and others who justify the end of the war by arguing that the military task of 'going to Baghdad' would have been too difficult."
