A very important work, generally convincing - [18 Oct 2008]
I found the authors' cost accounting of the war convincing in everything except the war's supposed link to the rise in global oil prices. They fail to give any explanation of why the war should contribute significantly to the rise. But this failure does...

$3 trillion would have been cheap - [19 Jul 2008]
This book puts forth a lot of numbers and tries to put a price on certain things that should not have to have a price on it: such as the price of a human life. But it needs to happen because obviously this country does not value the lives of its soldiers...

Absurd. - [13 Jun 2008]
The authors have abandoned any reasonable definition of the word "cost" for this book, which is more of a liberal hatchet-job than it is a realistic accounting for the cost of the war.
They have taken every liberty with the concept of "cost" in an effort...

a more expensive war - [15 May 2008]
Just for some comparison, the most expensive war in history has been the War on Poverty. After 43 years and some 8 trillion spent, there is no exit strategy yet. Why no book or movie about this huge expense? I'm just asking.
