Bibliography	Includes bibliographical references (pages 145-152).
Contents	Saddam made strategic miscalculations -- Saddam's internal security concerns weakened Iraqi defenses against external attack -- Iraq's military strategy and operations were poorly designed and executed -- Poor motivation and morale decisively undermined the Iraqi defense -- Superior military capabilities gave Coalition forces an overwhelming advantage -- Concluding observations.
Summary	Draws upon information derived primarily from interviews with and interrogations of senior Iraqi military and civilian officials to examine why the Iraqi resistance in March and April 2003 was so weak. It focuses on two questions: (1) Why did the Iraqi Regular Army and Republican Guard forces do so little fighting? and (2) Why did Iraqi leaders fail to adopt certain defensive measures that would have made the Coalition's task more difficult?
