War Report – the Internet’s best collection of thousands of articles and documents about the Iraq and Afghanistan wars

This site serves as an indexed archive of more than 14,000 documents and articles on the first seven years (2002-2009) of the U.S. wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Included are news reporting and analysis, primary government documents, expert research and analysis, and informed commentary.

For a complementary source on the pre-invasion politics and planning for the Iraq War see: Wider ‘War on Terrorism’: It’s Construction in the First Year which covers September 2001 through October 2002, and that war’s antecedents.

The War Report (last updated and then archived in 2009) will remain an essential resource on the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq for many years to come. Some small percentage of the links on this site will go bad each year. In the case of bad links, you should be able to locate the publication by searching for the publication by name in quotation marks or by going to the personal web page of the author. You will often be able to find the publication on the Internet Archive WayBack Machine.
