"Truth" a Very Good Title....

I finally finished this book (After 3 days) and all I can say is that I am completely amazed at the contrasts between what's happening on the ground, and what we see back home.
Having personally had a role in Mosul during 2003, I can relate to much of what Mr. Yon says as fact, but I came home and had to watch the war through the media, which showed sharp contrasts to what was really going on. How can the media, as a whole, get true perspective unless they're spending actual time on the ground? I'm talking about real time, not two weeks here and there. Mr. Yon gives us that perspective.
Many times I had to sit the book down, just to think about what I had just read. This included the part about the martyr, and Farah, and many other instances. Wonderufl reporting, wonderful perspective, and my hats off to Mr. Yon for providing us with the best book of 2008.

The best book about the ongoing war in Iraq. Awesome and factual

How can I write a review for such a marvelous book? What else can I say other than: This book is just great. Simple to read, peppered with facts and details and personal emotions of the parties involved in the conflict. Totally un-biased. Ex-Green Beret member Michael Yon has written a masterpiece. He has done superb job that he has managed to do so by staying in Iraq over the years. He is not linked to any news agency, tv networks, NGOs or governmental institutions. He does it because he knows no one else is doing it properly and factually. His book made me upset, angry and at times made me laugh so hard. It's brilliant and highly recommended. Any one interested in what has happened in Iraq since March of 2007 when Pres. Bush ordered the troops surge should grab this book and read it to believe what the Americans have done to improve Iraq. I Loved it and will recommend it to friends and fellow bloggers.

A must Read!

This book was everything the reviews said it was.It should be required reading for all TV anchors and related media.I have read many books on the war and it's battles.This was the most truthful and unbiased to date.

Moment of Truth in Iraq

Well written account from one of the rare journalists who has stayed embedded with the troops during the occupation. Yon is an articulate, clear-eyed journalist who is not for sale. Buy this book if you really want to know what is going on in the war. Buy this book before you vote.

A truly neutral view on the War in Iraq

Ever since the media has practically been ignoring Iraq, I've been trying to find a source of some sort that had a neutral look on Iraq, good and bad. This book was exactly that.

Many have summed up this book greatly, but I'll add in a few bits. I would of liked for it to be a little longer as one review also said, there are a few parts that would of been nice to be explained moreso. (such as Fallujah) But it wasn't a big deal and didn't hurt the book.

Michael Yon introduces himself as well as going over a few of the many disastrous mistakes made in Iraq. When he mentions good news, parts in Iraq improving, he is also careful to say that it isn't a permanent peace.

But best of all is the many personal stories, this book is truly a must if you want to see what has really been going on in Iraq.
