Index. Inscribed by the author on the half-title page. The inscription reads To Haleh and Shaul With warm best wishes Larry. Larry Jay Diamond born October 2 1951 is an American political sociologist and scholar in the field of democracy studies. Diamond is a senior fellow at the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies Stanford University's main center for research on international issues. At the Institute Diamond served as the director of the Center on Democracy Development and the Rule of Law from 2009 to 2016. Diamond has served as an advisor to numerous governmental and international organizations at various points in his life including the United States Department of State United Nations World Bank and U.S. Agency for International Development. He is a founding co-editor of the National Endowment for Democracy's Journal of Democracy stepping down from that role in fall 2022. As of August 2023 he co-chairs Hoover's China Global Sharp Power Project with Glenn Tiffert and Taiwan in the Indo-Pacific Region Project with James O. Ellis. Diamond was founding co-director of the National Endowment for Democracy's International Forum for Democratic Studies 1994–2009. He was the dissertation adviser for Regina Ip former Secretary for Security of Hong Kong during her years at Stanford. In 2022 Diamond joined Yermak-McFaul Expert Group on Russian Sanctions as an expert to work on elaborating and imposing international sanctions against Russia which invaded Ukraine. America's leading expert on democracy delivers the first insider's account of the U.S. occupation of Iraq-a sobering and critical assessment of America's effort to implant democracy. In the fall of 2003 Stanford professor Larry Diamond received a call from Condoleezza Rice asking if he would spend several months in Baghdad as an adviser to the the American occupation authorities. Diamond had not been a supporter of the war in Iraq but he felt that the task of building a viable democracy was a worthy goal now that Saddam Hussein's regime had been overthrown. He also thought he could do some good by putting his academic expertise to work in the real world. So in January 2004 he went to Iraq and the next three months proved to be more of an education than he bargained for. Diamond found himself part of one of the most audacious undertakings of our time. In Squandered Victory he shows how the American effort to establish democracy in Iraq was hampered not only by insurgents and terrorists but also by a long chain of miscalculations missed opportunities and acts of ideological blindness that helped assure that the transition to independence would be neither peaceful nor entirely democratic. He brings us inside the Green Zone into a world where ideals were often trumped by power politics and where U.S. officials routinely issued edicts that later had to be squared at great cost with Iraqi realities. His provocative and vivid account makes clear that Iraq-and by extension the United States-will spend many years climbing its way out of the hole that was dug during the fourteen months of the American occupation.
