Wesley Gray

The prose is perfunctory at times (there were times I felt like jumping up and yelling "Sir, yes, sir!") but the value of the book for me was the description of the cultural and historical differences in Iraq and how America's plans for establishing democracy in the area may just go awry because these differences are not fully taken into account. Bravo to Lt. Gray for making efforts to meet the Iraqis on their terms under very challenging circumstances. Heard about this title on NPR.
