Every member of Congress should be forced to read this book. Although it deals with the war in Iraq, the descriptions of the combat conditions and the impact on the soldiers has to be the same. This book is an account by an imbedded reporter of one units actual experiences during a tour of duty in Baghdad, how they planned to help the locals, and how they grew to hate the locals as their casualties mounted.
