Barron's review

One excellent excerpt: "I think we need to do something to get engaged with these guys," Fallon said. Iraq shared a 900-mile border with Iran, and he needed guidance and strategy for dealing with the Iranians.

"Well," Bush said,"these are assholes."

Fallon was stunned. Declaring them "assholes" was not a strategy.
