Conrad Crane

Conrad C. Crane (born January 22, 1952 ) is an American military strategist at the Institute of History of the US Armed Forces .

In 2003, Crane and fellow institute Andrew Terrill published a study on the Iraq war , intended as a political warning to President George W. Bush's administration . She predicted that while the GIs were likely to win the war in Iraq, the US would lose the peace afterwards.

On December 30, 2005, Terrill and Crane published - on the occasion of an official strategy paper of the US government - a new report in which they found that practically all of the dark prophecies of that time had come true. Nevertheless, the authors speak out against the submission of a timetable for the withdrawal of US troops from Iraq , because this harbors catastrophic dangers.

For 2016, Crane was awarded the Samuel Eliot Morison Prize .
