N2  - "[The book] tells the story of this ... campaign through the eyes of the commander of the 3rd Battalion, who was right in the thick of the fight. The book also provides a description of the Iraqi insurgency-- particularly al Qaeda in Iraq ... The author uses the actions of his battalion to describe a paradigm shift that occurred, while in a totally foreign culture, which allowed for a move from a war of bombs and bullets to one of partnership and ideas"--Dust jacket
