FIASCO: THE AMERICAN MILITARY ADVENTURE IN IRAQ by RICKS, THOMAS E. (Hardcover - 2006) ISBN: 9781594201035 Subject: HISTORY (NON-ASIAN) Publisher: PENGUIN PRESS USA There are a number of American heroes in Fiasco, from wise commanders like generals Petraeus and Mattis and Col. McMaster, who didnˇ¦t need to be told to implement classic counterinsurgency strategies, to the many heroic men and women on the ground who sweated and bled to do the best they could after nor being prepared to fight the war they encountered. In the course of chronicling the war to mid-2006, Fiasco contains gripping accounts of battles such as 2nd Fallujah and Tall Afar, whose names should take their place alongside Iwo Jima and Porkchop Hill on a select list of honor.
