National Security for a New Era: Globalization and Geopolitics after Iraq, is in its third edition and is used nationally in courses on American national security policy.

Unlike other books in the field, it goes beyond their coverage by discussing not only how and why the United States became involved and has stayed in Iraq, but also assesses the likely consequences of leaving Iraq on Iraq and the United States. The book is available at Barnes&Noble or on Amazon.com. It is accompanied by a blog www.whatafteriraq.com, which provides bi-weekly updates on the war and related issues.
