A raw, unfiltered view of the early days of the Iraq invasion--and
the haunting aftermath.
In a story taken from his personal war journal, a Marine
infantryman tells the tale of Alpha Company's march into Baghdad
and the capture of Saddam's palace. This is the hard-hitting,
straightforward memoir of the brave Marines--the first
boots-on-the-ground in Iraq--who paved the way with their blood,
sweat, and tears. The story of the first American to die in action
in the Iraq War. The account of innocent civilians killed in the
crossfire. The private repercussions--how young Marines cope with
violent death and killing.
In his own words, unpolished and unrefined, rich with the voice
and flavor of a young Marine in first action, Jesse Odom, leader of
Second Platoon's First Squad, gives us a memorable and poignant
tale of innocence stripped away, of lives lost, of battle,
bloodshed, camaraderie, laughter and grief. And finally--a type of
healing.
Meet the Devil Dogs of Alpha Company, of The Fighting Fifth
Marines--their heroes, their fallen in arms.
