The Reckoning: Iraq and the Legacy of Saddam HusseinTo the dismay of many in the West, the Gulf War ended with Saddam Hussein still in control, still defiant, and more determined to use any means of striking back. How far did he go? And now that Afghanistan's ruling Taliban has been vanquished and the al Quaeda network scattered, how far should the United States go in pursuit of its war on terrorism? The central question posed in this book is whether a future Iraq without Saddam Hussein will be even

To the dismay of many in the West, the Gulf War ended with Saddam Hussein still in control, still defiant, and more determined to use any means of striking back. How far did he go? And now that Afghanistan's ruling Taliban has been vanquished and the al Quaeda network scattered, how far should the United States go in pursuit of its war on terrorism? The central question posed in this book is whether a future Iraq without Saddam Hussein will be even more unstable and more problematical to the security of the United States. The Reckoning is an account of the forces historical, religious, ethnic, and political that produced Saddam's dictatorship. Forged after World War I from the Mesopotamian provinces of the collapsed Ottoman Empire, Iraq has never had a national identity or a sense of common purpose. Hussein, ruling by terror rather than by persuasion, pitted the various ethnic groups, religious interests, and tribes against one another and in so doing achieved the destruction of Iraq's middle class and civilized society. After he goes, however he goes, the country could be the site of conflict even more vicious than the Balkan wars. Now more than ever, the future of Iraq is of critical importance to America's dealings with the Muslim world, and Sandra Mackey's informed narrative gives us a new understanding of the politics and national character of the country."

This is a GREAT product line! Excellent fit!
Size: XX-Large, Color: Whiteblueleaf, Size: XX-Large, Color: Whiteblueleaf
Ordered 5 of these for a trip to Hawaii- and they did NOT disappoint! I don't do well in humidity, and these were the solution. The fabric is light but strong, and I am a bigger guy who usually where's a 2X Tall- the 2X was perfect. Just the right length, not too short like almost all of the other shirts I get off Amazon. Cool and moisture wicking without and discoloration, no embarrassing sweat marks and they do not hold any odor. Beats the regular cotton shirts for sure. After washing the colors, fit and finish have all held up wonderfully!

I love golf shirts !
Size: XX-Large, Color: Greengolf
I really love the design and feel of this shirt. The rub, is that it’s wrinkled all the time!! Even after a couple of washings. Also tried to water spray and let hang dry and also redry in the dryer. I’ve also worn it golfing. Hoping it would get better. Maybe my imagination, but does seem a little better. Golfing isn’t supposed to be a fashion show. But comfy nice shirts a must. I have this same shirt in black background. Love it, and isn’t as wrinkled. Black isn’t the best color on really warm summer days. Might keep this for a bit and see if it settles. No TV cameras on my golf game, ha! Just seem to play better when I feel good and look good. And most courses require collared shirts. Ok! Washed it again and let it hang dry! Wrinkles are gone!! Great shirt!! Now have it in several colors! The lighter colors are great!! Fend off the heat and nice enough to wear to church!!

Great golf shirt
Size: X-Large, Color: White Rhombus
Great golf shirt! Husband loves it, I will order more! They are a little longer than he would wear because he doesn’t tuck his in but over all great. Price is decent compared to what you spend in stores these days. The material is very light and great for south Arkansas heat.
