[Kumar Rishabh · Rating 3 out of 5]

The book gives a *detailed* account of the Iraq War of 2003. One will know almost all things about the war in this book - the strategy, the ground conditions, the operations, the technology used, and data on weapons and ammunition. But there is actually too much info. Rather than a book, it can be called a megabook. For a reader who wants to know the basics of the war, I won't recommend this book. If someone wants to read this book, one reading is not enough.

Otherwise a good book in terms of detailed facts and factual analysis, but indeed you might get bored reading it.
