Martyr's Day: Chronicle of a Small War
This eyewitness account differs from the many other books on the Persian Gulf War in that it deals primarily with human-interest elements rather than military matters. Kelly, a journalist who traveled extensively in the countries that were affected by the Gulf conflict, chronicles the vagaries of the war and its impact on the lives of the people in a revealing and disturbing text. The narrative line is lively and easy to follow. Readers may want to compare this book with Ramsey Clark's The Fire This Time ( LJ 12/92) for a contrasting perspective; Kelly's book is less critical of U.S. policy. Recommended for general readers and public libraries.- Nader Entessar, Spring Hill Coll., Mobile, Ala.Copyright 1993 Reed Business Information, Inc.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
