 The Gulf War 1991 (Essential Histories) $75.00 Most Osprey series booklets are good introductions to the battles/campaigns they cover. However, this one is not. Not that it does not do a good job for its length (96 pages). It is simply that the political history and military campaign (especially the former) are far too complex for 96 pages. It just cannot be done. In addition, but again due to the short length of the book, almost no perspective (political, military or in terms of military personalities [even of Husein]) from the Iraqi side is provided. This is the deepest flaw of book.  The Iraq War (History Channel) $29.95 THE HISTORY CHANNEL examines the key military and political decisions that have determined the course of the Iraq war, from President Bush s Axis of Evil declaration through negotiation, invasion, Mission Accomplished, and beyond. Experts analyze the design of the war plan and the new technology used in combat, such as the F-117 Nighthawk stealth fighter, B-2 Spirit stealth bomber, and Stryker combat vehicles. In addition, frontline footage illuminates key events of the war, including the rescue of Private Jessica Lynch and the successful captures of the critical Karbala Gap and Baghdad Airport. Featuring interviews with White House insiders and photographs from embedded journalists, THE IRAQ WAR paints a compelling picture of one of America s most controversial wars. DVD Features: Bonus Documentaries Eyewitness in Iraq, U.S. Weapons Against Iraq, Iraq War: Insurgency and Counterinsurgency |
