Probably not one of GiPs favorite people but Robert Fisk's "The Great War for Civilization" is an amazing read in and of itself but really goes into the Iran/Iraq war with some first hand experience.

Very big book but you will find yourself putting it down quite often and just thinking "gently caress......"

If they're anything like us, it's because it's in the district of a Mullah on the Defense Committee.

Fisk is a lovely pro-Assad hack these days, but yeah, that book is fascinating, if horribly depressing. It seems like there wasn't a hosed up event in the Middle East or Central Asia that he wasn't there for.

Its not even Sea Shepherd. Pete Bethune, notable for being considered too batshit for SSC, formed his own conservation group named Earthrace and managed to get a TV Show.
