Product Description

21 Days to Baghdad is an exclusive account of this historic rapid march and battle for Baghdad. Follow TIME Magazine's award-winning editors, writers, and photographers as they follow the coalition troops on their journey towards Baghdad, encountering Iraqis-both civilian and military-witnessing the war upclose and personal... and documenting it all in historic words and photos. TIME brings you first hand reports on the Road to War. Revisit the "Shock and Awe" attack, the counter-attack by the Fedayeen, the rolling into Baghdad, the short but fierce overtaking of the country, and the poignant stories of the seven rescued POW's, including the dramatic rescue of Pvt. Jessica Lynch. TIME takes you to present day Iraq-the rebuilding efforts, and finally, the coming home of the returning troops.

4.0 out of 5 stars Definitely one to add to your personal library, July 14, 2003
By Chandra Walton (Buedingen Germany) - See all my reviews
Talking about pictures being worth a thousand words! Every photo in the book I felt drew me in to imagining what it would have been like if I was the person behind the camera. I wouldn't recommend this book to someone who is looking for more of the technical "heavy duty" information on the war, i.e. tactics, troop movement, etc. It's more for the person who likes browsing through a book at their leisure especially picture books. The write-ups by the journalists are very interesting and do a great job of portraying what they and the soldiers experienced in the opening hours of the war and during it. I especially enjoyed the "Verbatim" sections that were scattered throughout the book. I am hoping that TIME might do a similar follow up book on the reconstruction of Iraq as my husband is currently over there with the 1st Armored Division assisting in the peace keeping processes.

3.0 out of 5 stars 21 Days to Baghdad Review, June 21, 2003
By Alan V. Dunkin (Richardson, Texas USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
21 Days to Baghdad is Time magazine's first large-format book detailing what essentially became Gulf War II, featuring many photographs from various photographers and various short reminisces by photographers and correspondents on or near the fluid front lines.

As a picture book and one of the first books on the 2003 war it serves as a descent introduction but does very little else - many of the photographs, while professionally and expertly shot, provide a wide overview of the war, and very little is of real combat. Which is not to say there isn't any, but mostly you see the results rather than any actual fighting. Again, the book does a good job of detailing all aspects of the war, and does a decent job detailing the Iraqi side - from what was available through government censors apparently.

The photographs themselves are excellent; many are two-page shots that provide every single grain and spec of detail, from the blood in a used coffin to the drops of sweat on a Marine's exhausted face. There is a real sense of urgency crossing a bridge near Baghdad (in a series of very widely published photographs), and a sense of tragic loss for a group of Iraqi parents. This is not a book for the young; the dead and wounded have equal treatment with the living.

21 Days to Baghdad also features some graphics evidently from the magazine, as well as a map or two, though it could have really used more. The editorial content seems fair though is mostly from the US-point of view.

There's definitely some value to this work, but one hopes this is just the beginning of more comprehensive - and better - books and photographic works to come.

5.0 out of 5 stars Contains high quality pictures and detailed information, October 22, 2005
This is worth it for the price if you want to follow the events of the conflict. Many photos depicting the real events that happened on our Tv screens while it all happened. I enjoyed the book and keep it on my coffee table.
