About this title

Synopsis

There have been many reports about the Iraq war and the vicissitudes of the occupation, yet none has told the complete story. Michael Gordon had unparalleled, behind-the-scenes access to the decision-making processes that determined involvement in Iraq. In "Cobra II" - the secret codename given to the land invasion operation - he delivers the objectively rendered, definitive chronicle of the war.
