In April 2003, after brief combat, Baghdad fell under US control and the Coalition Provisional Authority was formed to maintain order until a new Iraqi government became a reality.
This book details the stabilization operations and the experiences of US Task Force 1st Armored Division (TF 1AD), whose soldiers lived and fought under extreme conditions and whose activities were center stage in the controversial debate surrounding the initial occupation of Iraq.
Soldiers' personal experiences from recruitment, training, and armed combat to their aftermath and effects emerge from interviews and documentation by author Kenneth W. Estes in his account of this crucial military campaign.
