"Anyone interested in Iraq should read this book immediately." -Thomas Ricks, The Washington Post "The present conflict in the Middle East is frighteningly similar, making this book a good volume to have on library shelves. Horne provides a new preface." --Library Journal "[T]he read of choice for many U.S. military officers serving in Iraq...[this] universally acclaimed history...should have been mandatory reading for the civilian and military leaders who opted to invade Iraq" --The Washington Times A "highly readable, toughly edited history that blends the pace and sweep of a work of fiction with a relentless pursuit of every main actor still alive and willing to talk about the war."--Washington Post Book World "Alistair Horne is one of the best writers of history in the English speaking world. A Savage War of Peace shows him at the peak of his powers."--The Financial Times "An awesome and superlative piece of historical narrative...Mr. Horne has a terrible and tremendous tale to tell, one full of omen for posterity."--The Times
