Review title: Reads more like a history of Iraq than of the 2003 war
Product review: The Iraq War is an okay book. Having recently read Blackhawk Down, this is a comparatively much drier work that is more along the lines of a military history book than a book that is a good read. My biggest gripe with the book is that it comes across as a work that was originally meant to be a history of Iraq and Saddam Hussein that was repositioned to be a document of the war after it started. This is a 254 page book. The book doesn't begin to cover the actual start of the war until page 147. A chapter on the war's aftermath starts on page 204. The subject of the book only occupies about 1/5th of the entire volume. The war's coverage is done in a very broad fashion where more attention is paid to the unit IDs of the military units involved than in the actual events that took place. It shouldn't be hard to find online sources that cover the war in more depth than this book did.
