The Triangle of Death in Iraq, south of Baghdad, was a raging
inferno of insurgent activity in August of 2006; by November 2007,
attacks had been suppressed to such an extent as to return the area
to near obscurity. In the intervening months, the U.S. Army 4th
Battalion, 31st Infantry ("Polar Bears") employed a
counterinsurgency approach that set the conditions for a landmark
peace agreement that holds to this day. With a focus on
counterinsurgency, this book is the first to look at the breadth of
military operations in Yusifiyah, Iraq, and analyze the methods the
Polar Bears employed. It is a story not of those who fought in the
Triangle of Death, but of how they fought.
