| Summary |
The inside story of how the Pentagon put journalists into the front line of its war on Saddam. The aim was to capture images that would swing public opinion behind the war. But did the allies play straight with reporters at Centcom, their giant truth warehouse in the desert? John Kampfner sheds new light on the bombing of the Baghdad markets which the allies hinted was carried out by the Iraqis, and the 'saving' of Private Jessica Lynch. Embedded journalists tell their stories for the first time, and news executives answer criticism that the demands of 24 hour news distorted the reality of the conflict |
