The best
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
This is the best book on the Iraq war I have found so far. It has very good images and the included DVD contains VERY good footage. I would highly recommend this book to anyone.
A comprehensive rundown of the invasion
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
I have several different documentary books and dvd's on the invasion of Iraq, a subject of interest for me given that I was there with the 3rd Infantry Division. This book by far provides the most bang for your buck, with hundreds of action-photos and maps covering nearly every aspect of the war. It is written from the point of view of the imbedded reporters, so usually only one unit of each type is featured (ie, 3-15IN but not 1-15IN or 2-69AR). The DVD especially focused on the lives of the imbedded reporters, but both the book and the DVD covered an immense amount of information and made it interesting. I particularly appreciated the way the DVD showed specific news broadcasts, portraying what it was like to be watching us on TV during the invasion; I also was glad to see that at the end of the book it is dedicated to the soldiers that lost their lives between March 21 and April 14, 2003, and a by-date list of those soldiers is given.
Above the fray
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
NBC has done an exceptional job documenting the imbeds' experience in Iraq. Not only was this war covered more comprehensively than any other, but the reporters' experiences add a depth of human emotion so often lacking in the dry stand up reports from a briefing room. But their story is just one part of a beautifully produced book and DVD. This book is filled with stunning pictures of "shock and awe" as well as the innocents caught in the middle. If you only get one book on the recent war iun Iraq, this is it!
Wonderful Photography
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
I genuinely enjoyed this book, it is an extremely eye opening. It made me feel very close to the situation in Iraq. The photography was so vivid and interesting to see it through the media's perspective.
Courageous and innovative journalism
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
This book has lots of behind-the-scene accounts from reporters who were actually there, as well as from the producers in the control room. There's also a forward by NBC news anchor Tom Brokaw and an introduction by retired Army general and current NBC military analyst Montgomery Meigs. The book comes with a full-length DVD produced by NBC News and presents highlights of their war coverage along with extra features such as postwar interviews and commentary. This hardcover book has lots of color pictures on its 144 pages and also comes with a DVD.
