(March 26, 2003) I've almost finished reading Michael Kelly's account of Gulf War I. Give the devil his due. It's a marvelous book. His writing is very impressive. I learned a couple of new words on the first page or two. His bias does affect the narrative, but most of the time he is just telling you what he saw, and he saw plenty. When he has this sort of material, he can be a great writer. When he has nothing more than an ideological rant, he is tedium personified.
