Hard Lessons: The Iraq Reconstruction Experience (SIGIR, 2009)

Why this matters

The Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction's history of how more than $50 billion in U.S. reconstruction spending was planned, improvised and often wasted. It draws on hundreds of interviews and audits. SIGIR closed in 2013 and its website went with it; DTIC also holds a copy (ADA493696).
