"Jim Dobbins and his team
have produced a marvelous 'how to' manual for postconflict
stabilization and reconstruction. I have kept a copy handy for ready
consultation since my arrival to Baghdad and recommend it to anyone who
wishes to understand or engage in such activities"
Ambassador
L. Paul Bremer, Presidential Envoy to Iraq

from Germany to Iraq reviews more than 50 years of U.S. efforts to transform defeated
enemies into democratic and prosperous allies. The authors draw lessons from America's

experience in rebuilding Germany, Japan, Somalia, Haiti, Bosnia, Kosovo, and Afghanistan in order to extract best
practices in nation-building and to suggest how these lessons might be
applied in current and future endeavors, particularly the reconstruction of Iraq.
