Letters From The War Zone

by Michael Moore

ISBN: 0743271521
ISBN-13: 9780743271523
Format: Hardcover

Summary

Activist filmmaker Michael Moore collects letters from American soldiers in Iraq, as well as letters from their families, their loved ones, and vets of other wars. The writers express a wide range of feelings, including outrage that the reasons given by the Bush administration for going to war now appear to have been bogus; others indicate that the operation is not going well, and they report specific instances of snafus. The soldiers also report on how they are received by the Iraqis. One comes away convinced that there is a gap between the official line put out by the administration and the everyday experiences of the brave soldiers who are actually serving there. (Many of the letters are attributed to "Anonymous.")

The March Up
by Bing West

“Smith and West deliver a balanced and unblinking account that will certainly become one of the standard texts on the second Gulf War….As a result, this book is a sort of microscope-telescope hybrid, moving seamlessly through many levels: Here is the division commander's view of the fight, the regiment commander's view, the battalion commander's view, the company commander's view -- and the corporal's view, slugging it out on the ground at the head of a fire team…. The March Up should be required reading for everyone serving in the armed forces -- and for anyone exercising policy influence over the institution they serve.” -- Washington Post Book World "It is one thing to know about Marines. It is another to know the sting of battle. To tell the true story of combat up close and personal, the authors must be there on the scene with the Marines in action ... That is exactly what the reader gets in The March Up .... An excellent look at Marine combat at its best in the 21st century." -- Marine Corps Gazette “This is the face of war as only those who have fought it can describe it.” --Senator John McCain “This book will stand as the definitive account about the nature of ground combat as we enter the 21st century. A gripping and honest account of war as told by two distinguished veterans.” --James Schlesinger, former Secretary of Defense and former Director of Central Intelligence “An important and unflinching chronicle of contemporary warfare. Regardless of one’s position on the war in Iraq—on any war— The March Up speaks with authority and legitimacy and cuts to the very bone to reveal the experience of the modern fighting infantryman.” --General Anthony C. Zinni, USMC (Ret.), former Commander in Chief, Central Command

Between War and Peace
by Victor Hanson

In his acclaimed collection An Autumn of War , the scholar and military historian Victor Davis Hanson expressed powerful and provocative views of September 11 and the ensuing war in Afghanistan. Now, in these challenging new essays, he examines the world’s ongoing war on terrorism, from America to Iraq, from Europe to Israel, and beyond. In direct language, Hanson portrays an America making progress against Islamic fundamentalism but hampered by the self-hatred of elite academics at home and the cynical self-interest of allies abroad. He sees a new and urgent struggle of evil against good, one that can fail only if “we convince ourselves that our enemies fight because of something we, rather than they, did.” Whether it’s a clear-cut defense of Israel as a secular democracy, a denunciation of how the U.N. undermines the U.S., a plea to drastically alter our alliance with Saudi Arabia, or a perception that postwar Iraq is reaching a dangerous tipping point, Hanson’s arguments have the shock of candor and the fire of conviction.

Just Another Soldier
by Jason Hartley

This is not your father's war. This is Iraq, where a soldier's first duty is reinforcing his Humvee with sheet metal and sand bags. Or, in the absence of plumbing, burning barrels of human waste. Where any dead dog on the side of the road might be concealing an insurgent's bomb and anyone could be the enemy. At age 17, Jason Christopher Hartley joined the Army National Guard. Thirteen years later, he is called to active duty, to serve in Iraq. Sent to a town called Ad Dujayl, made notorious by Saddam Hussein's 1982 massacre, Hartley is thrust into the center of America�s war against terrorism. This is his story.
