If you haven't gotten to it yet, but are interested in how exactly we got into the mess that is is Iraq in December 2006, I recommend you go read Mark Danner's piece in The New York Review of Books. It's a review of recent works dealing with that subject by Bob Woodward, James Risen and Ronsuskind, and it does a fine job at threading the various stories and perspectives together. Really if you want to get the big picture (of the big disaster) in only 20-something pages it's a great place to start.
