Emma Sky's rise in Iraq, in an all-male sea of military men

British Middle East scholar Emma Sky was an early opponent of the Iraq invasion but nonetheless volunteered to work for the U.S. and British-led Coalition Provisional Authority to stand up a post-Saddam government. Sky lays this all out in her new book: “The Unraveling: High Hopes and Missed Opportunities in Iraq.”
