Book Reviews of America at War
Book Review: A good review on how the war began
Summary: 4 Stars
This book was a good review on how the war began. It has a timeline of events which is followed by short pieces written by correspondents supported by pictures. The DVD that accompanies it gives a more in depth look to each of the correspondents stories. It was definitely odd to go back and read/watch these events three/four years later. I can remember where I was when particular events happened. The pictures definitely evoke different thoughts and feelings then they did when the events originally took place. This is an excellent book to take you back in time and remember how things began (which now seem like they will never end). This is not a long detailed historically textbook, but more a glimpse of what happened and in those glimpses one can feel for the people involved. Although I prefer reading books that follow the actions of particular service members/groups, I thought the book is excellent for the type of book it is.
