More about the book

The narrative focuses on the harrowing urban battle in Nasiriyah during the Iraq War, where U.S. Marines from Task Force Tarawa faced an unexpected and intense confrontation. Initially a routine operation to secure two bridges, the situation escalated into a brutal twenty-four-hour clash, resulting in the deaths of eighteen Marines and injuries to over thirty-five others. This encounter marked the single heaviest loss for the U.S. military in the early stages of the conflict, highlighting the unpredictability and intensity of urban warfare.
