War Stories

Operation Iraqi Freedom

De: Oliver North

Narrado por: Joel Leffert, Oliver North

New York Times best-selling author Oliver North delivers a compelling book inspired by his popular FOX News Channel television program, War Stories. Hard hitting and provocative, War Stories: Operation Iraqi Freedom gives readers the behind-the-lines glimpse that only North can deliver.

As an embedded journalist in Iraq, North got a soldier's-eye view, often while under fire, of what the mainstream media failed to report. A decorated combat veteran, North watched Operation Iraqi Freedom with trained eyes unmatched by other journalists. What he witnessed compelled him to challenge post-war critics of the operation for their uninformed and deceptive views.

Gripping, insightful, and full of the gritty reality of war, this book is a powerful argument in favor of the campaign that liberated Iraq from the regime of Saddam Hussein.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"[Oliver North] does excellent work....vividly and knowledgeably described." (Publishers Weekly)

Fox News Kool Aid at its best

Great stories from downrange, but LTC North’s Republican leanings and Fox News Conservative bias ruin what would have been a Great War story. Would love to hear his postscript when no WMD were found (the primary reason for most opposition to the war).

Repeating Ashen

Observations that for millennia, mankind will be his worst enemy till the end of mastering of time.

A true Hero.

Ollie North is an American icon of what is right with us. His accounts from the battle field accurately describe what our sons and daughters are facing. Ollie gives our enemies no comfort.

Gritty detail on the Marine's advance in Iraq

Ollie North, a noted conservative polemic, provides here some excellent journalistic dispatches, full of detail and light on commentary. While he never attempts to hide his sentiments towards the Marines fighting and dying in Iraq, he shares their dangers and provides the perspective on the fighting that can only come from an experienced warrior. Well recommended regardless of where you stand politically.

Highly recommended

I was always looking for an excuses to listen to this book. It was excellent and I can't recommend it highly enough. You can almost feel the sand on your face during the storms.
