makes him an instant celebrity, and Burns goes on a journey into the heart of
Iraq's civil war in search of answers. But what he finds is a nightmare of
paranoia, chaos, and destruction. Grounded into today's headlines, Shooting War
was serialized online, and is presented here complete for the first time. (C:
