This is a completely fresh close up look at ehr Guerilla Struggle in Iraq. It is built on weeks spent re-embedded with U.S. soilders in the most dangerous parts of the Sunni Triangle in early 2004, direct polling of Iraquis , and unmatched reporting on combat raids, interrogations , delay diplomacy and reconstructions heroics. It follows the author`s Boots on teh Ground: A Month with the 82nd air born in the Battle of Iraq, which was the first book from an embeded reporter describing the toppling of Saddam Hussein. Gripping, perceptive funny and bluntly honest. Boots became the most famous chronicle of the host war in Iraq. Now Karl Zinsmeister has again beaten the pack with this ground breaking sequel on the countersuergency phase of the war. This is a powerful cliche-smashing, up to the minute report on America`s most urgent national struggle as seen through the eyes of ordinary Iraqis and the U.S. servicemen doing today`s dirty work. Dawn Over Baghdad takes you into Iraq`s urban neighbourhood rural villagesa and guerilla snale pits, and shows exactly how younge American soilders are quitly but inexorably choking off a terrorist insurrection and planting seeds of a dramatically different Middle East. Zinsmeister brings home a fascinating , intimate and insightful story missed by the major media: With the quite cooperation of millions of everyday Iraqis , the U.S is gradually approaching something historic- Success in a tough Guerilla War.
