Features: The development of documentary literature over the past twenty years has been unparalleled compared to any literary genre in any era. This is both heartening and concerning. The heartening aspect is that documentary literature has taken the lead in the literary and publishing worlds in terms of the breadth and depth of its content, innovation and variety in form, speed and scale of publication, as well as readers' reception and response. The concerning aspect is that rapid and excessive expansion can easily create bubbles, and bubbles do not bear fruit or leave seeds. This series of books will feature a rich and diverse range of themes and even more colorful elements. Legendary events and hot topics, great figures and ordinary lives, historical inquiries and reflections on the present, the distinctive charm of words and the allure of images, profound depth and light-heartedness—all can be blended harmoniously and complement each other. The live television coverage of the Iraq War allowed the world to witness modern warfare scenes and the clash of two armies. The excitement, suspense, conflict, and the wisdom embedded beneath the conflict all provided a thrill that was even more satisfying than watching a Hollywood blockbuster.
