A chronicle of the beginning of the Iraq War, when the US Military was flush with its success in toppling the regime of Saddam Hussein. The victory became tarnished as warring political and tribal factions transformed the “Land Between Two Rivers” into the Superbowl for terrorism.Caught in this firestorm was a tiny, but determined, Army Reserve Civil Affairs unit that took on the momentous task of rebuilding schools, medical clinics, and mosques around the perimeter of Baghdad International Airport, during 2003-2004.This is a story of the insane, stupid, humorous, surreal, and tragic events that befell this band of brothers and sisters on their journey through Iraq Reconstruction. It's a story you didn't see in the media. If you really want to know of the extreme effort and sacrifice of our servicemen and women, read no further.
