About this Item

Trade paperback (US). Glued binding. 266 p. Illustrations. The second edition is a more complete version. The author went back to his original entries and also added insights based upon his being home for more than a year. Phil Kiver's real life, moment-to-moment journal of his assignment as an Army journalist in Iraq is honest, irreverent? gripping and emotional one moment? a howl the next. Kiver, pictured above, in Iraq, with one of his heroes, Oliver North, doesn? t dress for company. His journals are raw reaction, impression, and introspection. This, folks, is what it feels like to be Phil Kiver in this war in Iraq? missing his wife, lounging at one of Sadam's pools, angry with the brass, witnessing the deaths of children and comrades, nighttime explosions too close for comfort, pasta with the Italians, toasting the fallen with the Ukrainians. It's a delirium of experience with this journalist sorting through the rubble and smoke in search of the story that will one day be history. Good. Signed by author. Cover has some wear and soiling. Corners of several pages creased. Seller Inventory # 68828
