Fallujah Awakens - Marines, Sheikhs, and the Battle Against Al Qaeda

The cradle of an insurgency that plunged Iraq into years of chaos and bloodshed, Fallujah conjures up images of the brutal house-to-house fighting that occurred during the 2004 US invasion of the city. But attacks in the area actually peaked two years later, when American and Iraqi government forces struggled with a reinvigorated insurgency and the prospect of premature withdrawal by US forces. Fallujah Awakens tells the story of the remarkable turnaround that followed.
