Fallujah Awakens

Marines, Sheikhs, and the Battle Against Al Qaeda

Beschreibung

The cradle of an insurgency that plunged Iraq into years of chaos and bloodshed, Fallujah conjures up images of the brutal house-to-house fighting that occurred during the 2004 US invasion of the city. But attacks in the area actually peaked two years later, when American and Iraqi government forces struggled with a reinvigorated insurgency and the prospect of premature withdrawal by US forces. Fallujah Awakens tells the story of the remarkable turnaround that followed.
