During the invasion of Iraq, the Third Infantry Division of the US Army was engaged in nearly daily fighting from the moment they crossed the Kuwaiti border to the final fall of Baghdad, with the battles reaching such intensity that at points entire battalions ran out of ammunition. Lacey (a retired army officer who was an embedded reporter with the 101st Airborne Division for Time magazine during the invasion) reconstructs these events, basing his narrative on the personal recollections of soldiers and commanders, access to Army documents, and interview transcripts with senior Iraqi army officers.
