Orwin on Rieff

Azure: "Now comes At the Point of a Gun, a collection of essays published between 1996 and 2004. Rieff has divided it into two parts: %u201CThe UN and International Relations Leading Up to Iraq,%u201D and %u201CThe Iraq War and Its Aftermath.%u201D There are some unifying elements: An introduction, an afterword, and prefaces and postscripts to some of the chapters. Still, like many books of this sort, the whole makes less of an impression than its parts."
