American forces have taken Baghdad and are now charged with winning hearts and minds. But this vital tipping point is barely recognized for what it is, as a series of miscalculations and blunders fuels an already smoldering insurgency intent of making Iraq the next graveyard of empires. This novel explores the lives on both sides of the battle lines: Cassandra Wigheard, a nineteen-year-old gunner on an American Humvee who is captured during a deadly firefight and awakens in a prison cell; Abu Al-Hool, a lifelong mujahideen beset by a simmering crisis of conscience as he struggles against enemies from without and within, including the next wave of far more radicalized jihadists; and Specialist Sleed, a tank crewman who goes along with a "victimless" crime, the consequences of which are more awful than any he could have imagined. 650 0 $a Iraq War, 2003-2011 $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Soldiers $v Fiction. 655 7 $a War fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 16 952 $l ALPE516 $d 20240417014336.0 952 $l GZPE631 $d 20240305013303.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012025121.0 952 $l STPC124 $d 20230418015758.0 952 $l GMPD771 $d 20230210020613.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20230203012153.0 952 $l LXPB815 $d 20210719155930.0 $m FIC VAN 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110071351.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006104638.0 952 $l NXPA663 $d 20180711044244.0 952 $l ZBPE245 $d 20180704043235.0 952 $l ZXPC675 $d 20180117080104.0 952 $l FBPC124 $d 20171122013047.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20170512010544.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20170503011339.0 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20170429010420.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DF9E9C662BD811E7922AC3A7DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
