Book Description

Publication Date: June 2003

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. 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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Another picture book about the fall of Saddam., May 16, 2006

This review is from: LIFE: The War in Iraq (Hardcover)

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.
