The recent war against Saddam Hussein, described and analysed by the UK's foremost military historian.
The Iraq War of 2003 becomes mired in more uncertainties with every month that passes, but amidst all the controversy over weapons of mass destruction, the use and misuse of intelligence, and its political and economic consequences, the conflict remains a formidable exercise in the power of the American war machine aided by the British army.
Throughout the war and beyond it, John Keegan's analysis proved more accurate than any other commentator's, and now he brings his unrivalled knowledge of military history to bear on the war, its conduct and consequences.
Written with special access to new sources of information, this book will be the most authoritative and challenging account of a war which could set the pattern for military conflicts in the 21st century.
