Nightcap At Dawn: Soldiers' Counterinsurgency in Iraq

A group of U.S. soldiers e-mailed their observations and experiences from Iraq, with their candid opinions on fighting an insurgency. The resulting book is a compelling narrative that carries the reader into alleys. bunkers, and homes. It poses difficult questions about engaging with an enemy that hides amid - and targets - the civilian population. "A truly extraordinary book ... of recollections, pooled experiences, and shared sacrifices [written] in the most vivid firsthand manner" (Christopher Hitchens).
