What is Promised Land, Crusader State: The American Encounter with the World since 1776 about?

Recent Books effort was undertaken before the war to determine targets that could force an Iraqi capitulation. No practice was undertaken on assembling and coordinating the 2,000 daily sorties that would characterize the campaign. And senior commanders were not apprised ofthe difficulties of present ing an accurate picture ofthe battle or getting a quick response to their orders, they tinkered with air tasking orders at the last minute, and they were unaware of the cascading effects. Many problems were solved or mitigated by fixes on the fly, often due to individual initiative. But the authors caution that while this approach worked against Iraq?a passive and, truth be told, weak adversary?the United States may not be so lucky next time.
