I need help quick!!!!?

Question

Hey. I have to do this Book Reveiw for history and i picked the most boring book ever, and im only on chapter 2 and its really long and the report is due in like a week. Anyway, i was wondering if anyone has read, "The Iraq War, A MIlitary History" by Williamson Murray and Major General Robert H. Scales, Jr.? I was wondering if anyone could give me a good length summary of it? That would really help! Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

I am going to assume you are in high school.
The old way was to go the local city college where they had book reports already set to go. Also cliff notes, but do not copy those! Every teacher knows about them.
The new way seems to be sites like amazon.com that have reviews or newspaper websites that publish reviews.
Either way you get to read and learn and sometimes the short cuts help you get a broader a perspective because you have get so many different opinions from the various reviewers.

Answer 2

Here is what you do.

You make a deal with yourself. You are going to read the book, and when you are done with the paper, treat yourself to something great. A sundae, a bubble bath, a movie night with a pal, whatever.

Then, set yourself up as best you can. Get the book, a comfy chair AWAY from tv, radio (don't say you study better with noise, only kids say that and it's a proven fact...that's not true.) and with a good drink, a snack, comfy pjs. Then read it ALL AT ONCE.

Trust me on this, most books are boring in the beginning. ANd if you read, put it down, read a bit, put it down, it's going to be ugly trying to read it.

Make the best of a bad book and next time, look up a book BEFORE you choose a title.

Answer 3

In this unprecedented account of the intensive air and ground operations in Iraq, two of America's most distinguished military historians bring clarity and depth to the first major war of the new millennium. Reaching beyond the blaring headlines, embedded videophone reports, and daily Centcom briefings, Williamson Murray and Robert Scales analyze events in light of past military experiences, present battleground realities, and future expectations.

The Iraq War puts the recent conflict into context. Drawing on their extensive military expertise, the authors assess the opposing aims of the Coalition forces and the Iraqi regime and explain the day-to-day tactical and logistical decisions of infantry and air command, as British and American troops moved into Basra and Baghdad. They simultaneously step back to examine long-running debates within the U.S. Defense Department about the proper uses of military power and probe the strategic implications of those debates for America's buildup to this war. Surveying the immense changes that have occurred in America's armed forces between the Gulf conflicts of 1991 and 2003--changes in doctrine as well as weapons--this volume reveals critical meanings and lessons about the new "American way of war" as it has unfolded in Iraq.

You have 1 week left. Get busy reading. Take breaks every 45 minutes to walk around, get a drink then get back after it. Doing this project yourself will build character and you will be proud of yourself for doing it!
