Book Reviews of No True Glory: A Frontline Account of the Battle for Fallujah

Book Review: BY A MARINE WHO PARTICIPATED IN THE BATTLE
Summary: 5 Stars

If you only read one book about the war Iraq, make it this one. This is a thoroughly researched, well written and gripping account. I can also say, having experienced at first hand many of the events portrayed in the book, that the book is remarkably accurate. Bing West is a former Marine Vietnam veteran and an acclaimed author and journalist. As such, he had unprecedented access to 1st Marine Division units in the immediate aftermath of the battle. His background allows him to write about the battle in a manner that really captures the hard edged realism of infantry units engaged in house to house combat. A great read.
