British Prime Minister Tony Blair may be most remembered for his entanglement with George Bush and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. However, Dornan, of King's College UK, points out that many of the mistakes made in the Middle East might have occurred due to over-confidence resulting from a military action taken by the British under Blair in Sierra Leone in May of 2000. At this time, British forces rescued personnel from the capitol of Freetown along with Irish soldiers who had been captured by rebels. They defeated the rebels and restored order. Dorman argues that this only happened because, by good luck, the officer in charge on the ground knew the area, the people involved and was competent. The government, on the other hand, was hampered by infighting, lack of communication and slow decision making. He goes through the steps of the operation and concludes that nothing was learned from it. Consequently similar mistakes were made in the Middle East with disastrous results. He encourages future leaders to learn from the past. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
