For all who have served in Iraq in the past three years,
plus everyone who cares about those quarter million
Americans�their wives and husbands, parents and children,
friends and colleagues�here are 250 glimpses into life in
wartime Iraq, a singularly intimate soldier�s-eye view of
their war. Neither pro-war nor anti-, not Republican and not
Democratic, this book is what life is really like for the
troops: a true, honest glimpse into the banal and the
breathtaking, the horrific and the honorable, the silly and
sad and heartbreaking.
This is the first digital
war, not because of computer-guided smart bombs or CNN
videophones, but because of the simple, inexpensive digital
camera, a part of daily life for Americans in Iraq and the
way our soldiers share that life�with their friends and
family, with one another, and now in This Is Our War.
These photos and in-depth narrative captions were culled
from the ten thousand images that GQ collected, creating a
striking, moving, and revealing work of contemporary
American history. Part Day in the Life, part Medal
of Honor, and part War Letters, this book is an
instant snapshot of history in the making.
