About this book

Iraq, 2007, the year of the surge. The intelligence reports could not answer every question, and the decisions on the ground could not wait for them.

Jack Reese follows the soldiers who had to act anyway: what they knew, what they could see for themselves, and how they made the call when certainty was not on offer.
