520    The Iraq War is a visual record of the American-led 
       Operation Iraqi Freedom of 2003, which resulted in the 
       dramatic overthrow of dictator Saddam Hussein. In a 
       striking sequence of photographs Anthony Tucker-Jones 
       shows how this was achieved by the American and British 
       armed forces in a lightning campaign of just two weeks. 
       But the photographs also show the disastrous aftermath 
       when the swift victory was undermined by the outbreak of 
       the Iraqi insurgency - in the Shia south, in Baghdad and 
       the Sunni Triangle, and in Fallujah where two ferocious 
       battles were fought. 

The author, who is an 
       expert on the Iraqi armed forces and has written 
       extensively on the Iran-Iraq War and the Gulf War, gives a
       fascinating insight into the Iraqi army and air force and 
       into the multitude of weapons systems Saddam purchased 
       from around the world. He also looks at the failures on 
       the American and British side - the flaws in the tactics 
       that were used, the poor performance of some of the 
       armoured fighting vehicles – and at the reformed 
       Iraqi armed forces who have now taken responsibility for 
       security in the country. 

The Iraq War is a 
       vivid photographic introduction to a conflict that has 
       only just passed into history. [Elib]
