Cobra II: The Inside Story of the Invasion and Occupation of Iraq
 
Informed by unparalleled access to still–secret documents, interviews with top field commanders, and a review of the military’s own internal after–action reports, Cobra II is the definitive chronicle of America’s invasion and occupation of Iraq. From the Pentagon to the White House to the American command centers in the field, Gordon, the only reporter to spend the war embedded with the first allied command, and retired Marine Corps lieutenant general, Bernard E. Trainor, reveal the inside story of how the war was actually planned and fought. They also document with precision the failures of American intelligence and the mistakes in administering postwar Iraq. The brutal aftermath in Iraq was not inevitable and was a surprise to the generals on both sides; here, Gordon and Trainor provide the first authoritative account as to why. It is a book of enduring importance and incisive analysis — a comprehensive account of the most reported yet least understood war in American history. The Economist called it “magisterial.” The Washington Post proclaimed, “The best account of the war to date.”

Deadlock: Russia's Forgotten War

(2002 CNN Special)

 
In this 2002 Golden Eagle Award-winning documentary, Gordon, former New York Time bureau chief for Moscow, takes viewers deep inside the brutal, decade-long struggle in Russia's breakaway republic of Chechnya. Includes footage of his risky trip into dangerous and highly restricted areas to capture horrific scenes of war and the inhumanity it engenders. The film, which Gordon also produced, also looks at the impact of this war on civilians, especially the families of those fighting.

General's War: The Inside Story of the Conflict in the Gulf
 
In a unique combination of journalism and military expertise, Gordon and Trainor provide a definitive, behind-the-scenes account and analysis of the planning and execution of the Persian Gulf War. In their review, Foreign Affairs magazine said, "It is likely to remain for some time the best single volume on the Gulf War.” And then former Secretary of Defense, Dick Cheney, said, "I recommend it to my friends as something that gives them a different element of some of the key decisions that were made.”
