The Good Soldiers - David Finkel

Descriere The Good Soldiers - David Finkel

Combining the action of Mark Bowden's Black Hawk Down with the literary tone of Tim O'Brien's The Things They Carried, The Good Soldiers takes an unforgettable look at those in the surge, the heroes and the ruined, returning from the Iraq War. \n \nThe Prequel to the Bestselling Thank You for Your Service, Now a Major Motion Picture \n \nWith The Good Soldiers, Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter David Finkel has produced an eternal story -- not just of the Iraq War, but of all wars, for all time. \n \nIt was the last-chance moment of the war. In January 2007, President George W. Bush announced a new strategy for Iraq. It became known as the surge. Among those called to carry it out were the young, optimistic army infantry soldiers of the 2-16, the battalion nicknamed the Rangers. About to head to a vicious area of Baghdad, they decided the difference would be them. \n \nFifteen months later, the soldiers returned home -- forever changed. The chronicle of their tour is gripping, devastating, and deeply illuminating for anyone with an interest in human conflict.\n
