When he began his research, the author thought he would be writing about the SEALs courage in the face of a losing cause. Instead, he discovered a startling success story whose importance has gone unrecognized in the war against al-Qaeda. Couch argues that the lessons of Ramadi, with SEALs fighting alongside regular forces in an urban war zone, call for using this strategy more widely. 606 $aIraq War, 2003-2011$xCampaigns$zIraq$zAnbİar (Province) 615 0$aIraq War, 2003-2011$xCampaigns 676 $a956.7044345 700 $aCouch$b Dick$f1943-$01676520 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910814144603321 996 $aThe sheriff of Ramadi$94042802 997 $aUNINA
