Imperial Life in the Emerald City

Of course, this title makes me think of Oz, as I am sure the author intended, and this creates an additional aura of unbelievability to the reporting in this book. The subtitle is "Inside Iraq's Green Zone" and it is a disturbing tale of America's Wizards in Washington as they manhandle history and people. As Perky said, after she read it, "very compelling." Beautifully written in an interesting and balanced tone.
