The First Gulf War: A First Report....,
By
This review is from: CNN WAR IN THE GULF (ISBN 1878685007) (Hardcover)
After offering an unprecedented amount of live coverage of the first Gulf War, Cable Network News (CNN) commissioned Thomas Allen, Clifton Berry, and Norman Polmar to write a hasty history immediately following the conclusion of combat in 1991. The result is "War in the Gulf', a first take that has both the sense of immediacy and the shortcomings of being too close in time to the described event.
The authors, all experienced in defense affairs, had access to the large volume of reporting conducted by CNN between August 1990 and February 1991. As is common for current news, this reporting was typically incomplete and lacked perspective. That said, "War in the Gulf" provides a good running commentary about the preparation and conduct of Operations DESERT SHIELD and DESERT STORM. It comes with a healthy collection of photographs and graphics that help illuminate the conflict for the general reader. Its best use may be as a capture of what was understood at the time about the First Gulf War. |
