I purchased the book because I was a photojournalist in Baghdad last year and I wanted to see if any of the photos in the book looked like mine. Also, I wanted to see if the places I visited were also in the book...they were !!! I wonder if in my lifetime, will the country ever be able to become a peaceful nation putting aside religious and social differences and rebuild again to its once splendor. While The War in Iraq 2003 shows our brave military and allies in action, it also is a book of wonderful photographs. The Iraq war and this book made me wonder after all of the years of my adulthood, why I never thought of visiting the Middle East when it was safe and tourist friendly. Named the Cradle of Civilization, we as Christians, will probably never be able to visit Baghdad, its surrounding territories, Babylon and the City of Ur anytime in the next generation. This is theoretically our origin and it would have been interesting to see all of the locations named in our Bible. This book takes the reader on a short trip through those lands. I recommend this book 110%.Read full review
The content of this book is simply excellent. The photographers that were involved in documenting this war have gone far beyond their own personal limitations and have arrived at an art form rarely seen or visited in today's literature on this subject matter. The book allows the reader/viewer to transplant themselves into the heat, dust, flies, stench, sights and sounds of the Iraq War as is seldom if ever seen. They are to be complimented at the highest levels.
GREAT BOOK!!! I have small children, so I always look for books with tons of pictures. (which is hard to do online!! :0) I orginally purchased this at borders, and a 2nd one on ebay as a replacement. There are no words, and there dosen't need to be for this book!
This book is beautifully done! whether you agree or disagree with the war , it is definitely a must have piece of history that shows all sides of the war through excellent photography
