Gary Anderson reviews Dr. Kimberly Kagan's new book "The Surge: A Military History" on The Washington Times website.

Brendan Simms of the Wall Street Journal reviews ISW President Kimberly Kagan's latest book titled "The Surge".

For the first time since the start of the war, American forces are withdrawing from Iraq’s cities, reducing their numbers and turning responsibility for security over to Iraqi forces.

The parliament has learned how to use the power of the purse.

Kimberly and Frederick Kagan's published an op-ed article in the Wall Street Journal on the Iraq's recent Provincial Elections.

As the baton is passed to a new commander and a new president, there is still delicate work to be done.

The conflict over power in Iraq has transformed from a military to a political struggle.

The most important objectives of the surge have been accomplished in Iraq. We have an extraordinary – but fleeting – opportunity to advance America's security and regional stability.

Where the U.S. was unequivocally losing in Iraq at the end of 2006, we are just as unequivocally winning today.

The Maliki-Sadr showdown.

Congress wanted Prime Minister Maliki to confront the militias. Now it needs to support him.

With a sequence of brilliant offensives, Raymond Odierno adapted the Petraeus doctrine into a successful operational art.

In a new AEI report, ISW President Kimberly Kagan, Frederick W. Kagan, and Danielle Pletka present empirical evidence of Iranian activities in its immediate environs.

The Iraq debate in 2007 focused on whether the new strategy and troop increase could stem violence in Iraq. It did.

The reemergence of Iraq's Shiite leadership comes as the Iranian regime now stands only on the religious claims of authority made by Ali Khamenei.

The surge of operations that American and Iraqi forces began on June 15 has dramatically improved security in Baghdad and throughout Iraq.

There is perhaps no greater danger to the success of American efforts in Iraq than the prospect of a congressionally mandated timeline for withdrawal.

Operations and events on the ground are already showing successes well beyond Baghdad in Anbar, Diyala and Salah ad-Din provinces--formerly al-Qaeda strongholds and hotbeds of the Sunni insurgency.

The Dora market is an amazing success story and a small part of the critically important success that U.S. forces have achieved in the heart of a neighborhood that had been one of AQI's strongholds.

To say that the surge is failing is absurd. Instead Congress should be asking this question: Can the current progress continue?

The new strategy for Iraq has entered its second phase. Now that all of the additional combat forces have arrived in theater, Generals Petraeus and Odierno have launched Operation Phantom Thunder.
