...rise and fall of Iran's Mohammed Reza Pahlavi. Kapuscinski labored for years on a third volume, about Uganda's Idi Amin, but apparently could not find words for his excesses. When the Soviet Union foundered in the late 1980s, he abandoned Amin and headed for Moscow. The result, Imperium, is a perceptive travelogue-memoir of living under communism and watching it collapse. Another Day of Life is a harrowing account of the 1970s Angolan civil war; The Shadow of the Sun contains the best of the author's Africa reporting; and The Soccer War recounts, among other idiocies...
...effects of America's disastrous war in Iraq on U.S. foreign policy. Consider the fallout: Guantnamo has discredited America's long-standing international legitimacy; false claims of Iraqi WMD have destroyed U.S. credibility; continuing chaos and violence in Iraq have diminished respect for U.S. power. America, as a result, has come to need Russia's support on matters such as North Korea and Iran to a far greater extent than it would if not for Iraq...
...screenplays. There is a lot of going back over the same thing and making it slightly worse or simplified. I did it once with John Schlesinger for The Innocent.

...restraint that violent Shi'ite factions showed early in the new U.S. military plan seems to be disappearing. As a result, the deterrence card has now been played, and the gamble appears to be lost, just as the last of the U.S. troops sent for the surge get into place. As of last month, 13,000 additional U.S. troops were deployed in Baghdad as part of the surge, which ultimately will bring the number of U.S. forces in Baghdad to some 30,000. Bergner says the last of the U.S. surge forces will be in place in about two weeks...
