Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Internationally acclaimed for his vivid shocking and intimate coverage, no reporter knows the battle zones of Iraq better than Michael Yon. The former Green Beret has been getting into the thick of it for years. Now Yon tells the true story of the surge — the last ditch effort of American and Iraqi soldiers to snatch Iraq back from the abyss. Yon has never been co-opted — by Left or Right, Military or Media. In 2005, Yon was the first battlefield reporter to write that Iraq was spiraling into civil war. The fighting officers and soldiers Yon covers know this former Green Beret stands with them. Our soldiers lead him to the hottest spots and most crucial campaigns when other less trusted journalists are left behind. So no one has more credibility reporting on the dramatic turnaround led by General David Petraeus and the still-critical dangers that will make 2008 the Moment of Truth in Iraq. Richly illustrated with Yon's hair-raising battlefield photos, Moment of Truth in Iraq is both an urgent missive to Americans demanding answers, and a timeless chronicle of war. Synopsis:Internationally acclaimed for his "vivid" "shocking" and "intimate" coverage, no reporter knows the battle zones of Iraq better than former Green Beret Michael Yon.
No one has better access, deeper sources, or greater credibility. Yon has never been co-opted — by Left or Right, Military or Media. Now, in a work with all the drama of his famous battlefield dispatches but cutting far deeper than anything he has published before, Yon tells the true story of the dramatic turnaround on the ground in 2007 — and the still-critical dangers that will make 2008 the "Moment of Truth in Iraq". Synopsis:The American soldier is why General David Petraeus's brilliant strategy of moving soldiers off isolated bases and out among the Iraqi people worked. Worked to find and kill terrorists, reclaim neighborhoods and help lead Iraq to democracy. Iraqis respect strength. They saw that American soldiers are great-hearted warriors who rejoice in killing Al Qaeda terror gangs that took over whole cities, raped too many women and boys, cut off too many heads. But Iraqis also discovered that these great warriors are even happier rebuilding a clinic, school or neighborhood. They learned from the American soldier that the most dangerous man in the world could be the best man too. - Follow the great Deuce Four battalion that became the center of a warrior cult dreaded by terrorists and revered by Iraqis. - Read about an elite Iraqi SWAT team taking down a terror cell for the murder of four American soldiers and a brave Iraqi guide. - Occupiers, not liberators? Tell that to the wounded Iraqi interpreter, who, convinced he was about to die, begged his U.S. commander to have his heart cut out and buried in America.
