Telling the Truth About Iraq April 16, 2008
13 out of 16 found this review helpful
I have followed Michael's dispatches since his early days in Iraq and found them riveting. Michael is a journalist, photographer, soldier and patriot. He tells it like it is from the boots-on-the-ground perspective without the clouding of politics. Instead of phoning in reports from the hotel bar in the Green Zone, Michael delivers blood and guts, victory and defeat and a great deal of hope. He has seen the eyes of grateful, and some not so grateful, Iraqis and has witnessed the progress that the country is making. Most of all I am grateful for his portrayal of our brilliant US military. However you may feel about the war in Iraq, Moment of Truth is a stunning read.
Why it's important for YOU to read this book April 20, 2008

As a reader and contributor to Michael's blog, the book fulfilled every expectation. But there is more to it than that...Michael documents not only the heroism of those who are fighting and winning this war, but also the unbridled evil of those we fight against. The story behind the story is Michael's delivery of the truth that we MUST not let the opportunity slip away to drive a stake through the heart of the evil that is Radical Islam. If we do not eliminate the threat now, our children and their children's children will have to deal with it.
MUST READ! April 27, 2008

Having family members in the military (vets of both Iraq and Afghanistan), I have a special reason to hate the brutality of war. Yet, the evil that we are fighting in the form of radical Islam is not fiction. Michael Yon brilliantly paints a picture of the good and the bad of this particular war. My wish is that every American would read this book...and then, think!
Full Spectrum Combat Operations April 19, 2008

From the peaceful areas of the countryside (yes, they exist) to combat in cities, from the hot open desert to the grassy banks of the Tigris and Euphrates, from the battlefields to the graveyards, Michael Yon has been there. Shoulder to shoulder with the top U.S. Generals and the newest Iraqi Army Privates, Mike has done that. His first book on the subject is a milestone in combat reporting. Travel with him if you think you can take the heat - and handle the truth.

Received the book yesterday. Finished it today. I couldn't put it down. This is the book every member of Congress MUST read and won't because it tells the TRUTH about the current situation in Iraq! Michael Yon writes from "outside the wire" not from the IZ. He sees the changes with his own eyes and not political spin from AP copy and "I heard this was happening".
