Bush. The Marines' mission: to kill or capture anti-Iraqi forces. Their experience: like being in Hell. Now Major Scott A. Huesing, the commander who led Echo Company through Ramadi, 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. In Echo in Ramadi, Huesing brings these resilient, resolute young men to life and shows how the savagery of urban combat left indelible scars on their bodies, psyches, and souls. Like war classics We Were Soldiers, The Yellow Birds, and Generation Kill, Echo in Ramadi is an unforgettable capsule of one company's experience of war that will leave readers stunned." --Amazon. 600 10 $a Huesing, Scott A. 610 10 $a United States. $b Company E $b Marine Regiment, 4th. $b Battalion, 2nd. $b Company E $v Biography. 650 0 $a Marines $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Iraq War, 2003-2011 $x Campaigns $z RamÄdÄ«. $z RamÄdÄ«. 650 0 $a Iraq War, 2003-2011 $v Personal narratives, American. 651 0 $a RamÄdÄ« (Iraq) $x History, Military $y 21st century. 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft. 082 04 $a 956.7044342 HUE 941 $a 1 952 $l SCPC074 $d 20210810062628.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3D3AF8C4F9A211EB85B6CD7523ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
