Selling War: A Critical Look at the Military's PR Machine

Abstract

(2003–). Iraq; all these veterans' families who courageously waited for their return; my Iraqi public affairs colleagues who daily tried to tell the story of their nation to a world that oftentimes could not hear them; and the millions of Iraqis whose lives have been adversely affected by the U.S. invasion. Above all this book is for my wife, Rosemary, whose enduring love and support filled my soul's rucksack and sustained me throughout my tour as she endured her own private, tortuous, and lonely hell for a year. To Cannon, Holden, McKenna, and Duncan, I hope someday your children will inherit a world far better and safer than the one I have tried to give to you.
