"This is the best book to date about how the media covered the second Gulf War or maybe miscovered the second war.   Mr. Schechter on a day to day basis analysed media coverage. He found the most arresting, interesting, controversial, stupid reports and has got them all in this book for an excellent assessment of the media performance of this war.  He is very negative about the media coverage and when you read this book you will see why he is so negative about it.  I recommend it. " -- Peter Arnett

"I'm your biggest fan in Iraq. Your book is amazing. Amazing. I started reading it last night and I haven't been able to... stop reading. I spent the night sitting up in front of the computer, reading page after page. I only stopped when the electricity went off and then I tried sleeping- but sleepwouldn't come because I kept thinking of some of the things you had written-especially about the embedded journalists. ... I hope it sells 3 million copies and that it becomes required reading everywhere. Not for your sake, for our sake and the sake of all the ignorant people out there. I don't know how many fans you have- or how many you will eventually have but I mean every single word. I lived through that incredible lie." -- Riverbend, Iraqi Blogger, Author of "Baghdad Blogging"
