Baghdad at Sunrise by Peter R Mansoor

"Peter Mansoor's extraordinarily valuable Baghdad at Sunrise. . . is a far better guide to counterinsurgency warfare than the official manual published by the Army and Marines. . . . This book has more intellectual integrity and utility."—Ralph Peters, New York Post -- Ralph Peters * New York Post *

"The poetically titled Baghdad at Sunrise: A Brigade Commander's War in Iraq takes discussion of foreign policy down to the nitty-gritty of operational reality."—Benjamin Lytal, New York Sun (Fall Books Preview)

-- Benjamin Lytal * New York Sun *
"This is a moving, clear, lucid, and extrememly valuable account of midlevel operations in Iraq in the early, crucial stages of the insurgency, with many valuable lessons. . . . As a memoir, Col. Mansoor's book is honest, moving and exceptionally readable."—Martin Sieff, Washington Times -- Martin Sieff * Washington Times *
