It became known as |the surge|. |Many listening tonight will ask why this effort will succeed when previous operations to secure Baghdad did not. Well, here are the differences|, he told a sceptical nation. Among those listening were the young, optimistic army infantry soldiers of the 2-16, the battalion nicknamed the Rangers. About to head to a vicious area of Baghdad, they decided the difference would be them. Fifteen months later, the soldiers returned home forever changed. What is the true story of the surge? And was it really a success? Those are the questions that the Pulitzer Prize-winning Washington Post reporter David Finkel grapples with in his remarkable rep ort from the front lines. He was with Battalion 2-16 in Baghdad almost every gruelling step of the way."Publisher description. |
