Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
This book offers a fresh and provocative view of the war in Iraq from 2 staff officers, as compared to books by embedded reporters or enlisted soldiers. It outlines a straightforward strategy for achieving victory. It provides a critical assessment of what has gone wrong so far. The authors have served a combined total of over 60 months in Iraq. In his best-selling book, 'Fiasco', journalist Thomas Ricks wrote, 'There was no plan for the aftermath of the conventional war in Iraq.' But there was a strategy, argue U.S. Army officers Dominic Caraccilo and Andrea Thompson based on their experiences with the 101st Airborne Division in Iraq, where they participated in tactical, operational, and strategic decision making. Even if its execution was muddled, that strategy involved handing the battle over to increasingly capable Iraqi Security Forces, and it remains the best shot at victory.Caraccilo and Thompson draw on their first-hand experiences training Iraqi troops and conducting security operations to show how that strategy has succeeded in parts of Iraq and how it can be expanded to bring victory to the whole country.

It's refreshing to hear a soldier's view of the war in Iraq and not what the politicians and media want to report. Thanks for writing the book.

Through out history it has taken boots on the ground to discover solutions to complex military strategy. Caraccilo and Thompson's experiences with the 101st Airbourne allow them to offer significant remedies to this ongoing burden
