The article focuses on two books: "Second Front: Censorship and Propaganda in the Gulf War," by John R. MacArthur and "Martyr's Day: Chronicle of a Small War," by Michael Kelly. MacArthur tells how the Pentagon, after locking out the press in Grenada and traducing it in Panama, pooled and censored it in the gulf to a degree never seen before in America's wars. Kelly relays the horror stones told to him by Kuwaitis with a degree of skepticism, but he failed, when he visited a hospital in Kuwait, to check out the main atrocity story of the war, the fable about babies being yanked from incubators.
