Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

This lavishly illustrated volume covers the U.S. Army's work since 9/11 in segments. The first embraces the immediate aftermath of 9/11. The second concerns the deployment to Afghanistan and overthrow of the Taliban. In conclusion, Berry and Steele follow Operation Iraqi Freedom from the buildup in Kuwait through the actual conduct of the action to the early stages of occupation. An appendix contains a brief, photographic directory of some equipment the army took into battle. The text is almost cursory, and it should surprise no one that it is pro-army and pro-war. The illustrations--all color photographs--constitute the book's greatest strength, for they cover a variety of equipment and American and Allied personnel, particularly in logistics, that the general media have given scant notice; and they allow one to draw conclusions on broader issues based on such shots as that of a female soldier hefting a sandbag. An unabashed visual salute to the army's work in the recent conflicts. Roland Green

5.0 out of 5 stars Every patriot should buy this book, October 18, 2003

This review is from: United States Army at War: 9/11 Through Iraq (Hardcover)

Every patriot should buy this book if they want to find out how their soldiers, the front line troops defending freedom world wide, are doing in the war against terrorism. No longer, since 9/11, can any American say that they don't care about what is happening elsewhere, since elsewhere has now invaded US soil. Get to find out what your army is doing on your behalf - a semi-official place like this is a good place to start. Christopher Catherwood, former lecturer to British troops going to Bosnia and author of CHRISTIANS, MUSLIMS AND ISLAMIC RAGE (Zondervan, 2003)
