| Abstract | "This book chronicles America's struggle with the city of Fallujah. Beginning with the arrival of Americans on their way to Baghdad in 2003, it details the movements, counter-movements and misunderstandings that led up to the eventual standoff. It provides a day-by-day account of the siege which eventually retook the city of Fallujah in November 2004"--Provided by publisher. |
