From the dust jacket: "From a universally respected combat journalist, a gripping history based on five years of front-line reporting about how the war was turned around -- and the choice now facing America. During the fierce battle for Fallujah, Bing West asked an Iraqi colonel why the archterrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi had fled in womenÂ's clothes. The colonel pointed to a Marine patrol walking by and said, 'You Americans are the strongest tribe.' In Iraq, America made mistake after mistake. Many gave up on the war. Then the war took a sharp U-turn. Two generals -- David Petraeus and Raymond Odierno -- displayed the leadership America expected. Bringing the reader from the White House to the fighting in the streets, this remarkable narrative explains the turnaround by U.S. forces. In the course of fourteen extended trips over five years, West embedded with more than sixty front-line units, discussing strategy with generals and tactics with corporals. He provides an expertÂ's account of counterinsurgency, disposing of myths. By describing the characters and combat in city after city, West gives the reader an in-depth understanding that will inform the debate about the war. This is the definitive study of how American soldiers actually fought Âa gripping and visceral book that changes the way we think about the war, and essential reading for understanding the next critical steps to be taken.".
