![]() Yet this 8 weeks had a profound impact on American society that continues today. I knew, at this end of history, what a short war this was going to be, but we didn't know at the time. ![]() I was an adult at the time of the First Gulf War I read Operation Homefront this past week and was immediately transported back in time. I realize that at the time she wrote the story, it had only been a year or so since these events, but it has stood the test of time. Cooney, whose work I have long admired, did a wonderful job of capturing a snapshot of those few weeks in American history and bringing it back to life. I can even remember some of the specific broadcasts the journalist who had to stop to put on his gas mask, for example, and the long, long line of Iraqi's trying to surrender to the media journalists. And yet I can remember some of those broadcasts the Herrick family were so enthralled by as if they happened last week.
