The Prequel to the Bestselling Thank You for Your Service, Now a Major Motion Picture
With The Good Soldiers, Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter David Finkel has produced an eternal story -- not just of the Iraq War, but of all wars, for all time. It was the last-chance moment of the war. In January 2007, President George W. Bush announced a new strategy for Iraq. It became known as "the surge." Among those called to carry it out 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. The chronicle of their tour is gripping, devastating, and deeply illuminating for anyone with an interest in human conflict.Languages:EnglishPublisher:Picador USAISBN-13:9780312430023ISBN-10:312430027UPC:9780312430023Book Category:HistoryBook Subcategory:Wars & Conflicts, MilitaryBook Topic:Iraq War (2003-2011), United StatesSize:8.20 x 6.14 x 0.97 inchesWeight:0.67Product ID:SCYT1Q35ZE
