Description
"It is April 2003. American forces have taken Baghdad and are now charged with winning hearts and minds. But this vital tipping point is barely recognized for what it is, as a series of miscalculations and blunders fuels an already-smoldering insurgency intent on making Iraq the next graveyard of empires. In [this novel], Brian Van Reet explores the lives on both sides of the battle lines"--Amazon.com.
