Gordon, chief military correspondent for the New York Times, and Trainor, a retired Marine Corps lieutenant general who served as military correspondent for the paper in the late 1980s, offer a comprehensive overview of our venture in Iraq. They cover not just military but political and diplomatic moves and interview not just important U.S. figures but Sunni and Shia leaders, Kurdish politicians, former insurgents, and more. Important.
