But in this definitive account of the war, prizewinning journalist Rick Atkinson pierces the military’s veil of secrecy and follows the unfolding battle from the first night to the final day. Provided are vivid accounts of bombing runs and White House strategy sessions, firefights and bitter interservice conflicts. The allied campaign against Saddam Hussein was a wholly different kind of war, one that transformed the very nature of modern warfare.
