Description
The first full insider account of the troop surge in Iraq, told by a member of General David Petraeus’s personal staff
Surge is an insider’s view of probably the most decisive phase of the Iraq War. After exploring the dynamics of the war right through its first three years, the book takes the reader on a journey to Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, where the controversial new U.S. Army and Marine Corps counterinsurgency doctrine used to be developed; to Washington, D.C., and the halls of the Pentagon, where the Joint Chiefs of Workforce struggled to be mindful the conflict; to the streets of Baghdad, where soldiers worked to enforce the surge and reenergize the flagging war effort before the Iraqi state splintered; and to the halls of Congress, where Ambassador Ryan Crocker and General David Petraeus testified in one of the vital most contentious hearings in up to date memory.

Using newly declassified documents, unpublished manuscripts, interviews, writer notes, and published sources, Surge explains how President George W. Bush, Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, Ambassador Crocker, General Petraeus, and other U.S. and Iraqi political and military leaders shaped the surge from the middle of the maelstrom in Baghdad and Washington.
