  • An in-depth, intimate look into the almost two-month long second battle for Fallujah. An epic Marine Corps battle, Operation Phantom Fury was the single most significant battle undertaken during the occupation of Iraq. This book gives a rare firsthand account of the brutal reality of the war in Iraq, how this battle for a key city was fought, and how such a crucial battle looks from positions of command and from the thick of the fight. It chronologically documents the on-the-ground events leading to the 2003 and 2004 military operations in Fallujah, Iraq, and makes clear that the operations relied on a team: soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines and Iraqi troops
