Description

The Second Battle of Fallujah: A History of the Iraq War's Most Devastating Conflict The city of Fallujah, located in Iraq's western Anbar Province, has a rich history spanning thousands of years. The modern history of Iraq played a significant role in shaping the fighting in and around Fallujah in 2004. The Second Battle of Fallujah, which began in November of that year, was a pivotal moment in the Iraq War, with the U.S. military facing heavy urban combat. The battle was part of a series of operations aimed at securing the city, including Operation Vigilant Resolve in April 2004 and Operation Phantom Fury. The fighting was intense, with the city changing hands multiple times over the years. The battle was marked by significant urban combat, with U.S. Marines facing some of the heaviest fighting since the Battle of Hue City in Vietnam in 1968. This book provides a detailed account of the Second Battle of Fallujah, including pictures, footnotes, online resources, and a bibliography for further reading.
