Essential reading for scholars interested in policing and other criminal justice issues in Iraq. Informed by extensive fieldwork, the research presented here is an excellent resource that should influence future scholarship on criminal justice systems in countries undergoing various forms of transition.--Nathan Pino, coauthor of Globalization, Police Reform and Development Wozniak has produced a rare gem--a book rooted in grounded data and analysis from inside the US effort to secure its footing in Iraq. Its implications for the future of exporting US policing internationally are daunting.--Peter Kraska, author of Militarizing the American Criminal Justice System
