The Three Trillion Dollar War By Joseph Stiglitz

Posted at 6:39PM Wednesday 12 Mar 2008

Joseph Stiglitz says that America's adventure in Iraq is more expensive than any war - barring the Second World War - it has ever fought. The superb achievement of this book, however, is how little you do have to take on trust. Its arguments advance methodically, increment by increment, in language that an innumerate arts graduate such as myself can understand.
