Robert Kaplan and Anthony Shadid

The war in Iraq gets plenty of time in the media. We hear from generals, colonels, admirals, the Defense Secretary, members of Congress, right on up to the President. But today we're going to talk with authors of two new books that tell us the story from different perspectives. Robert Kaplan goes around the world with Special Forces troops in his book Imperial Grunts. We will also meet Pulitzer prizewinning journalist Anthony Shadid, who embedded himself with Iraqi civilians for the reporting that forms his new book Night Draws Near.
