Sassaman nathan (55 resultados)

Hardback. Condición: Very Good. The startling and controversial memoir of combat and betrayal, written by one of the most prominent members of the U.S. fighting forces in Iraq. A West Point graduate, a former star quarterback who carried Army to its first bowl victory, and a courageous warrior who had proven himself on the battlefield time and again, Lt. Col. Nathan Sassaman was one of the most celebrated officers in the United States military. He commanded more than eight hundred soldiers in the heart of the insurgency-ravaged Sunni Triangle in Iraq; his unit's job was to seek out and eliminate terrorists and loyalists to Saddam Hussein, while rebuilding the region's infrastructure. Yet Sassaman will always be known for a fateful decision to cover up the alleged drowning of an Iraqi by his men, where they purportedly forced two detainees to jump into the Tigris River. The Army initially charged three soldiers with manslaughter and a fourth with assault--the first time troops who served in Iraq had been charged with a killing in connection with the handling of detainees. Sassaman's decision led to his downfall, despite an impressive career, and sent shockwaves through the American military. Warrior King is the explosive memoir of one of the most deeply involved members of the U.S. military in Iraq. This is the first book to take readers from the overnight brutality of combat, to the daunting daytime humanitarian tasks of rebuilding Iraq, to the upper echelons of the Pentagon to show how and why the war has gone horribly wrong.…

Col. Nathan Sassaman was one of the most celebrated officers in the United States military. He commanded more than eight hundred soldiers in the heart of the insurgency-ravaged Sunni Triangle in Iraq, and his unitâs job was to seek out and eliminate terrorists and loyalists to Saddam Hussein, while simultaneously rebuilding the regionâs infrastructure and introducing democratic processes to a broken people. Sassamanâs tactics were highly aggressive, his methods innovative, and his success in Iraq nearly unparalleled.Yet Sassaman will always be known for a fateful decision to cover up the alleged drowning of an Iraqi by his men, in which they purportedly forced two detainees to jump into the Tigris River. The army initially charged three soldiers with manslaughter and a fourth with assault---the first time troops who served in Iraq have been charged with a killing in connection with the handling of detainees. Sassamanâs decision led to his downfall, despite an impressive career, and sent shock waves through the American military.This controversial decision goes to the heart of the complex fight in Iraq, where key army leaders betray one another, politics in the war room leads to lost lives on the battlefield, and enemy factions routinely sabotage U.S. efforts, making success difficult for American commanders on the battlefield.Warrior King is the explosive memoir of one of the most deeply involved members of the U.S. military in Iraq.

Number line in the book reads as follows: 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1; above the number line is First Edition: June 2008. The thesis of the book is that niceties too often were valued over common sense and safety. The United States clearly lost sight of our primary purpose-to destroy the enemy with overwhelming force at every opportunity- and somehow drifted toward a twisted policy. It is sobering to have one of your men killed or lose a foot to an improvised explosive device (IED) because, your senior commander decided that driving down the middle of the road backed up traffic for the Iraqis. This is the startling memoir of combat and betrayal; written by one of the most prominent members of the United States fighting forces in Iraq. Clean, fresh, tight and bright. A very nice, collectable quality, volume.…
