The dust over Iraq has hardly settled, and the smoke has barely dispersed. But already there are photo books chronicling the war to oust Saddam Hussein.
From the editors of Life magazine comes "The War in Iraq: The Illustrated History", with hundreds of photos, many in color, that visit the battlefield and the home front. Other photo sections show images of Baghdad taken in 1958 by Life photographer Larry Burrows, who died in a helicopter crash during the Vietnam War; and a photo biography of Saddam including images from his youth.
Same title, different subtitle: "The War in Iraq: A Photo History" is a book of few words, with no text other than a two-page introduction. This book brings the war into the living room through its 250 color photos, some previously unpublished, by more than 100 photographers representing Agence France Presse, The Associated Press, Getty Images, Magnum, Sygma and others.
Time magazine covered the war with 13 correspondents and 10 photographers, some embedded with the troops. Their words-and-pictures reports make up "21 Days to Baghdad", a day-by-day account of the action.
The British news agency Reuters sent 150 correspondents and photographers to cover the war. They came back with enough material to fill a book, namely, "Twenty-One Days to Baghdad: A Chronicle of the Iraq War".
