This book is a great package. If you buy the hard cover, it comes with a DVD that has about an hour's worth of content on it.As for the book itself, it's well written, engaging, detailed, and contains many first-hand testimonies. Another thing I'm very happy about is the many diagrams and pictures scattered throughout. They all contributed to my understanding of the material.I don't have much more to say, this is a great read. I plan on buying North's other books, especially the one covering the Iraq War.Overall: Great book!
