Review title: This isn't the Keegan I know
Product review: I'm a big fan of John Keegan's books. His "Face of Battle" is one of the best books I've ever read. Keegan's appeal as a historian has been his objectivity and ability to present all sides of an issue. Unfortunately, "The Iraq War" was a big disappointment. The first chapters that provide a history of Iraq are unbiased and informative. The following chapters that describe the politics prior to the war and the war's justification are anything but. Furthermore, his description of U.S. and U.K. military forces resembles a recruiting poster more than it does a history book. While I was happy to see Sadaam removed from power and am proud of our armed services, I would have preferred to see a more balanced account of the conflict.
