"...the timeless tale of a young leader and his soldiers on the ground seeking to find meaning and purpose in the gritty, visceral reality of war at the small unit level." General David Petraeus
As the dust settled on the U.S. military's initial victory in Iraq, the Army found itself mired in a difficult campaign to defeat a growing insurgency and rebuild the war-torn country. Untrained for counterinsurgency and without enough troops to secure the population, the Army responded by creating several new brigades specifically to meet these requirements.
It Was What It Was invites listeners into the life of a freshly commissioned lieutenant in one of these units. Join him and his comrades as they stand up a new brigade of the 1st Infantry Division, train and equip it, and deploy together to the heart of Baghdad.
Essential listening for aspiring military leaders and a treasure trove for historians and enthusiasts, this book sheds light on the strange and often contradictory difficulties of small unit leadership in 21st century warfare.
