A propos de cet article

Glued binding. Paper over boards. xxxii, 603 p. Illustrations. Maps. Index. Inscription on title page signed by Gordon. Also signed by Trainor. Some pencil underlining and marks noted. Michael R. Gordon is the chief military correspondent for The New York Times. During the first phase of the Iraq war, he was the only newspaper reporter embedded with the allied land command under General Tommy Franks, a position that "granted him unique access to cover the invasion strategy and its enactment". He and General Bernard E. Trainor have written two books together, including the best-selling Cobra II. As a journalist for the New York Times he was the first to report Saddam Hussein's alleged nuclear weapons program in August 2002 with the article "U.S. Says Hussein Intensifies Quest for A-Bomb Parts." Gordon's paper, the New York Times, called Cobra II "a work of prodigious research", adding that it "will likely become the benchmark by which other histories of the Iraq invasion are measured." Bernard E. Trainor (born September 2, 1928) is journalist and a retired United States Marine Corps lieutenant general. He served in the Marine Corps for 39 years in both staff and command capacities. After retiring from the Marine Corps, he began working as the chief military correspondent for the New York Times. He is currently a military analyst for NBC and has also written three books. Cobra II is a revelatory work of investigative journalism, this comprehensive and unfiltered account of the war in Iraq is written by the only reporter who was embedded with the Allied land command. Cobra II "focuses on the rushed and haphazard preparations for war and the appalling relations between the major players, " won praise from Lawrence Freedman in Foreign Affairs, who wrote that "the research is meticulous and properly sourced, the narrative authoritative, the human aspects of conflict never forgotten."
