Ramadi: The Gettysburg Battle of the Iraqi War (Interview with Maj. Scott Huesing)

From the winter of 2006 through the spring of 2007, 250 Marines from Echo Company, 2nd Battalion, 4th Marine Regiment fought daily in the dangerous, dense city streets of Ramadi, Iraq during the Multi-National Forces Surge ordered by President George W. Bush. The Marines’ mission: to kill or capture anti-Iraqi forces. Their experience: like being in Hell. Listen to our exclusive author interview with Major Scott A. Huesing, the commander who led Echo Company through Ramadi.  He takes readers back to the streets of Ramadi in a visceral, gripping portrayal of modern urban combat. Bound together by brotherhood, honor, and the horror they faced, Echo’s Marines battled day-to-day on the frontline of a totally different kind of war, without rules, built on chaos.
