Product Description
In well-considered words and vivid pictures, the editors of LIFE create another definitive document of a critical event in American history. As they did with the best-selling ONE NATION: America Remembers September 11, 2001, which was called 'a thorough and thoughtful telling' by The Wall Street Journal, and cited as the most successful photo history of September 11 and its aftermath by many other reviewers, they now tell the story of the 2003 Iraqi war. Remarkable pictures from the Gulf, drawn from sources worldwide including Reuters and all the wire services, The New York Times and all the newspapers and news magazines (including many from Europe, providing several shots not yet seen in America), as well as those taken by today's best independent photographers who have an intimate association with LIFE, will tell the history-and be accompanied by a dramatic, authoritative timeline of events. Other chapters in LIFE's The War in Iraq will include "The World Reacts"; "The Faces of War", about people such as Jessica Lynch, the rescued POWs and the young Iraqi boy, Ali; "A Free Press: How We Saw the War"; and "Aftermath"-which looks at the fluid situation on the ground today, and the difficult road ahead for a liberated nation. LIFE's The War in Iraq, will be about the pictures, as is always the case with LIFE. And it will be the complete story. - Large collection of exclusive frontline photos - Introduction by well known journalist Walter Cronkite - Complete detailed and colourful war maps. - The book covers both the history of the country, and the war, which is the dominant coverage. - Pictures are drawn from worldwide sources and wire services, including images not seen before in the U.S.

 Very interesting book July 29, 2003
2 out of 12 found this review helpful
I recommend this book to anyone who wants to keep up with the Iraq war.
 Another picture book about the fall of Saddam. May 17, 2006
Kevin M Quigg (Carol Stream, Illinois United States)
More great pictures about the 2003 War in Iraq and the fall of Saddam Hussein. As in the Time book about the same campaign, there are some great pictures in this book. On the writing side, there is little meat in this book and for one to better understand this conflict, they need to read elsewhere. However the pictures are great and one will get a general idea on why the war was waged.
Some of the pictures in this book are graphic in nature. It would probably not be wise to leave this book around young children. Those pictures just prove to everybody that war is hell.
