Thunder Run: Three Days in the Battle for Baghdad

$11.90
Thunder Run: Three Days in the Battle for Baghdad
Thunder Run: Three Days in the Battle for Baghdad

Intense, strategic insight into Baghdad's critical battle.

If you're fascinated by modern military tactics and crave an on-the-ground perspective of warfare, "Thunder Run" is a gripping recount that takes you inside the Battle for Baghdad. It delivers a detailed, moment-to-moment experience that's more than just military movements; it's about the soldiers and the raw intensity of urban combat. This is a book that brings history to life with a pace that's as relentless as the armored charge it describes.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Thunder Run is the inside story of one of the most brutal and decisive battles in combat history. It is the story of how, with fewer than a thousand men, and facing dug-in Iraqi forces, the Second ('Tusker') Brigade of the Third Infantry Division punched a hole through the heart of Baghdad with a high-speed charge to Saddam Hussein's Presidential Palace and Republican Guard headquarters. It is a riveting account of how soldiers really respond under fire - and how human frailties are magnified in a war zone. Many people believe that Baghdad was taken with a minimum of effort. But for the Tusker Brigade, this was a cruel and terrifying three days of urban warfare. This compulsively readable book, written by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist David Zucchino, does for the battle for Baghdad what Mark Bowden's best-selling Black Hawk Down did for the firefight in Mogadishu. It is an unforgettable and unputdownable first-hand account of how a single armored brigade of fewer than a thousand men captured an Arab capital defended by one of the world's largest armies.
