Full Description
Warheads reveals what goes on behind the closed doors of the US television networks, from the make-up rooms and TV studios of cable news to the E-ring conference rooms of the Pentagon. Written by one of the best-known members of television's elite cadre of military analysts, or `warheads', Colonel Ken Allard's hard-hitting and often hilarious narrative shows how he and his colleagues from MSNBC, CNN and Fox News covered the events of 9/11, the war in Afghanistan, and the invasion of Iraq usually in `hits' of three minutes or less.
In his book, Allard also considers the tough issues that the warheads could seldom wedge into their hits: that technology is never the final answer in warfare.
Kenneth Allard, one of US television's most respected military analysts, rose from the ranks to become a colonel in the US Army, Dean of the National War College, and one of the nation's leading soldier-scholars.
