Larry Diamond "Squandered Victory"

In the closing weeks of 2003, Stanford University professor Larry Diamond got a phone call from Condoleezza Rice, his former Stanford colleague, asking him to go to Iraq to help lay the foundation for a new, postwar democracy. Diamond was in Iraq from January to April 2004, and saw firsthand how the "regime change" effort was being conducted. He analyzes that effort in his book Squandered Victory.
