"Suzanne Simons is a masterful storyteller. But make no mistake-Master of War is not a work of fiction. She tells a powerful and true account of the war in Iraq. The drama and excitement come through on every page. Her reporting is world-class. Having been to Iraq and having covered the war from day one, I thought I knew a lot about what was going on. But reading her book, I quickly realized how much I didn't know."
