I am almost done with Michael Yon’s new book Moment of Truth in Iraq (in bookstores April 23; order a signed advanced copy here). I would say that it is the most important book written to date on Iraq. It should be required reading for all Americans. Here is Yon’s Op-Ed in today’s WSJ. His critique of the Petraeus testimony is profoundly important.
Michael Yon has been reporting independently and on his own nickel from Iraq since 2004. He was the first to call the conflict a civil war (Army Public Affairs officials tried to ban him from Iraq for it), he has been harshly critical of the Bush administrations, and has no love for the main stream media. He is the only American journalist to remain consistently embedded in the Iraq conflict and has more time in Iraq than any other journalist. He is a former Green Beret and a courageous American.
Semper Fidelis.
