Description: As war loomed, reporters from around the World swarmed into Iraq. But in the end Paul McGeough was one of a handful (and the only Australian), to cover the entire war from Iraq. Keeping a daily diary, McGeough documented the death of the innocents and the cheap propaganda on both sides; the heroic efforts by doctors and nurses in filthy, under-supplied hospitals; the collapse of the regime; the American conquest of Baghdad; and the rampant looting that tore away the last vestiges of Saddam Hussein.
