We’d love your help. If we weaned ourselves of foreign oil, we could afford to stay out of these eternal conflicts..This was okay, but I liked Atkinson's books on World War II a lot better.
That said, there were a couple times when I had to question his research, the most glaring to me being his incorrect definition of a FARP and his discussion of the "obtuseness" of naming a FARP after a gas station - while invading Rick Atkinson's book, In The Company of Soldiers, is a well written chronicle of the opening days of the war in Iraq as seen from the Division level. I like Atkinson as an author, his background writing military history is obvious.Absolutely amazing. May 6th 2004 Good story about the 101st Airborne's deployment into Iraq in 2003 under the command of Gen. Petraeus. In his unique hands this book is set to become a classic of war journalism and the only book to buy for an insider's account of America's war in Iraq.In The Company of Soldiers: A Chronicle of Combat In IraqI loved the book. As one of the most prestigious embedded journalists, heFIRST LINE REVIEW: "They found the sergeant's body at midmorning on Saturday, April 12, 2003,just where an Iraqi boy had said it would be; in a shallow grave in south Baghdad, near the Highway 8 cloverleaf known to the U. S. Army as Objective Curley." ThisDuring the recent war in Iraq, renowned historian Rick Atkinson was embedded with the 101st Airbourne Division of the US forces. Najaf was pacified, at least for today.

I also learned the Middle Eastern preferred methods of fighting, probably all that is available to them because of their technological weakness. Welcome back. For Rick Atkinson, who would spend nearly two months covering the division for The Washington Post, the war in Iraq provided a unique opportunity to observe today's U.S. Army in combat.

For soldiers in the 101st Airborne Division, the road to Baghdad began with a midnight flight out of Fort Campbell, Kentucky, in late February 2003. Interesting for a Soldier who deployed at the same time into the same area and now reading a higher level observation of the things I saw on the ground. To make his story more interesting, Atkinson weaves historical allusions concerning the biblical history, Greek History, and Persian history. 99% of what we do is boring, but it is that 1% that they write books about.

As the season comes to a close, we wante...During the recent war in Iraq, renowned historian Rick Atkinson was embedded with the 101st Airbourne Division of the US forces. The invasion of Iraq in 2003 was not a contest of equals. A superbly written account of the recent unpleasantness in Mesopotamia. by Little Brown and Company
Hard to get into this one as it's just a bio almost on Petraeus before he was involved in a scandal a few years down the road. He had access to the headquarters command post and the top-secret plans tent and spent most days at the elbow of Major General David H. Petraeus as he directed attacks on the cities of Najaf, Karbala, Hilla and, ultimately, southern Baghdad. I was In D company 3/502INF 101st and I can tell you it is correct in every way. Hard to get into this one as it's just a bio almost on Petraeus before he was involved in a scandal a few years down the roaThis was okay, but I liked Atkinson's books on World War II a lot better. Just asking a couple questions of someone in the Army Aviation community could have given the correct definition and he would have found out that FARP naming conventions often use a fuel station theme. We recommend In The Company of Soldiers. . This book is basically a glimpse into Major General David H. Petraeus as he directed attacks on the cities of Najaf, Karbala, Hilla and, ultimately, southern Baghdad between Feb and April in 2003. And all around Petraeus, we see the men and women of a storied division grapple with the challenges of waging war in an unspeakably harsh environment.With the eye of a master storyteller, a brilliant military historian puts us right on the battlefield. He gains the trust of the commanders on the ground, most notably, the Division Commander, Major David H. Patraeus. Thus I decided karma was telling me to read an earlier Rick Atkinson book about his time with the 101st Airborne Division in Iraq before tackling Chivers.Rick Atkinson's book, In The Company of Soldiers, is a well written chronicle of the opening days of the war in Iraq as seen from the Division level.
