Eventually every conqueror, every imperial power, every occupying army gets out. But what are the obligations of withdrawal?
Getting Out: Historical Perspectives on Leaving Iraq, a forthcoming Dissent/Penn Press book, examines the history of military exits--from the British retreat from the American colonies to the Israeli disengagement from Gaza--in an effort to bring into focus the moral and political choices the U.S. will face when it leaves Iraq.
Edited by Michael Walzer and Nicolaus Mills, the book features essays by award-winning journalists and historians, including George Packer, Frances Fitzgerald, Stanley Karnow, and David Bromwich.
