LIFE: The War in Iraq

by LIFE, Walter Cronkite (Introduction), Robert Sullivan (Editor)

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.

Reviews

[The F · Rating 4 out of 5]

Nice info and photos, but sometimes too many photos. The final half has so many photos you'd think the war lasted 2 days. However, enjoyable info on Hussein's regime was enough for me.
