- Double-weighted statement
- This book, written over four years, deployed an unusually wide range of source materials, both primary documents and retrospective testimonies of participants as recorded in the Iraq "Chilcot" Inquiry, as well as sorting arguments from the public domain and academic literature into identifiable typologies. It drew on three literatures around the causes of war, diplomatic history and International Relations theory, to formulate its argument. It also undertook one of the first detailed academic examinations of the parliamentary debate over the invasion of Iraq, undertaking a critical analysis of the assumptions underpinning the arguments made.
