520 Charlie 1-26 confronted one of the worst neighborhoods in
Baghdad and lost more men than any battalion since
Vietnam. This is the remarkable story of a courageous
military unit that sacrificed their lives to change
Adhamiya from a lawless town where insurgents roamed
freely, to a secure neighborhood with open storefronts and
a safe populace. Army Times writer Kelly Kennedy was
embedded with Charlie Company in 2007, went on patrol with
the soldiers and spent hours in combat support hospitals.
During that period, one soldier threw himself on a grenade
to save his friends, a well-liked first sergeant shot
himself to death in front of his troops, and a platoon
staged a mutiny. The men of Charlie 1-26 would earn at
least 95 combat awards, including one soldier who would go
home with three Purple Hearts and a lost dream. This is a
timeless story of men at war and a heartbreaking account
of American sacrifice.--From publisher description.
