M.A.S.H. meets Catch 22 on the real-life Road to Baghdad. Phil Kiverʼs real-life, moment-to-moment journal of his assignment as an Army journalist in Iraq is honest, irreverent—gripping and emotional one moment—a howl the next. Kiverʼs journals are raw reaction, impression, and introspection. This, folks, is what it feels like to be Phil Kiver in this war in Iraq—missing home, lounging at one of Saddamʼs pools, angry with the brass, witnessing the deaths of children and comrades, nighttime explosions too close for comfort, pasta with the Italians, toasting the fallen with the Ukrainians. Itʼs a delirium of experience with this journalist sorting through the rubble and smoke in search of the story that will one day be history.
