Book Reviews of Cnn: War in the Gulf/from the Invasion of Kuwait to the Day of Victory and BeyondBook Review: This Is The Worst Documentary I Have Ever Seen. Summary: 1 StarsDuring the Gulf War, CNN's coverage was magnificent. I was one of those addicts who watched every minute. So I was waiting for this series with great anticipation. Was I ever disappointed! So many wonderful scenes were left out (like that cruise missle seen right passing outside the hotel room).In place of the real news was segment after segment of mush, meaning interviews of sappy questions, like "how did you feel when..." and asking widows how they felt. Moreover, there was a lot of repitition, down to the dialog. Most of the "fighting" scenes were from old training films, the offensive graphics were in your face all the time. It was really bad, even hard to stick with. I finally gave up. Anyone want my set? Otherwise it gets what it deserves, a couple of hard smashes between a rock and my sledge hammer.
