One Weekend a Month, Booklocker.com, 2006
The book: One Weekend a Month is an extremely well-written indictment of the US occupation of Iraq. The author strips the conflict of its righteous veneer and shows through the eyes of Army Reservists how the reconstruction effort in Iraq has been bungled due to incompetence and poor leadership. Craig Trebilcock uses scathing wit and satire to show how clueless US policymakers are in trying to graft democracy onto a culture that does not value the idea. Humorous, compelling, and controversial, this book shows a side of the Iraq conflict that the politicians and press don't talk about.
The author: Craig Trebilcock is a former Army officer who was involved in restoring the Iraqi legal system.
