Items related to Thunder Run : Three Days in the Battle for Baghdad
Synopsis
Thunder Run is the inside story of one of the most brutal and decisive battles in combat history. It is the story of how, with fewer than a thousand men, and facing dugin Iraqi forces, the Second ('Tusker') Brigade of the Third Infantry Division punched a hole through the heart of Baghdad with a high-speed charge to Saddam Hussein's Presidential Palace and Republican Guard headquarters. It is a riveting account of how soldiers really respond under fire - and how human fralities are magnified in a war zone. Many people believe that Baghdad was taken with a minimum of effort. But for the Tusker Brigade this was a cruel and terrifying three days of urban warfare. This compulsively readable book, written by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist David Zucchino, does for the battle for Baghdad what mark Bowden's best-selling Black Hawk Down did for the firefight in Mogadishu. It is an unforgettable and unputdownable first hand account of how a single armoured brigade of fewer than a thousand men captured an Arab capital defended by one of the world's largest armies.
