Fulminata reviewed The march up by Francis J. West
Review of 'The march up' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
A look at the 1st Marine Division's role in the taking of Baghdad during the initial stages of the Iraq War. It's interesting to contrast and compare this account of conventional warfare with later accounts of anti-insurgency operations. The paperback edition even includes some of that in an epilogue added that revisits the division a few months later.
