Martyrs' Day: Chronicle of a Small War by Michael Kelly.
A collection of essays and reports by the American journalist (he was an editor of The Atlantic at the time of his death while covering the more recent war in Iraq) about the Gulf War. He ignored the pool reporter thing and went pretty much everywhere during the war; Baghdad before the outbreak of the war, Israel during the SCUD attacks, at the front with the Egyptian Army during the ground war, Kuwait City after liberation, Kurdish areas of northern Iraq after non-liberation there, etc. Some of it is very compelling stuff; the chapter on the occupation of Kuwait City is particularly troubling in the wake of Abu Ghraib and stirring up of old reports about the Stanford Prison experiment and whatnot. A both enjoyable and depressing read.
