Witness Iraq

Book excerpt: Documenting the U.S.-led military campaign in Iraq from the perspective of some of the world's most renowned and respected photojournalists, Witness Iraq offers an extraordinary first-hand account of this controversial war. Beginning with the assassination attempt of Saddam Hussein and continuing through the massive roll out of tanks and troops in the desert, on to the fight of the Kurds in the North, and culminating in the fall of Baghdad, these images, many never-before-seen, reveal both the horrors of war and the triumph of the human spirit. With 150 full-colour photos.
