Editorial Reviews
Book Description
For twenty months after Operation Iraqi Freedom, Fallujah festered with rebellion against American interests as well as the Iraqi Interim Government. Fallujah became a magnet for foreign fighters and a base of operation for the terrorists in Iraq. The rouge city was completely out of control and American forces would have to fight in an urban environment to regain control. Fallujah, With Honor, a battle book, is the story of the First Battalion, Eighth Marines' attack into Fallujah as part of Operation Phantom Fury. Lieutenant Colonel Gary Brandl's Marines attacked up the "belly of the beast" as part of the six battalion attack on the insurgency in Fallujah in November 2004. This is their book, the Marines of 1/8. This is a complilation of over 67 accounts from 1/8 Marines shared through personal interviews with author Gary Livingston.
