USNI Proceedings Camp sets the battles' political stage very well, describing the tensions among U.S. Administrator of Iraq, L. Paul Bremer, Iraq Coalition Force Commander, Lieutenant General Ricardo Sanchez, and U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, and aptly avoids commenting on the war's domestic political controversy. This technique keeps his work close to what matters most in getting to the truth of a battle: write of the strategy and of the men who execute it....Camp writes of war's men and methodology as only one who has been there can. I especially liked his treatment of some of the nation's most brilliant combat leaders, including Marine General James N. Mattis and Colonel Willard A. Buhl, and his skill in telling a story that reads less like a history than a thrilling novel... Military Heritage . ..an intriguing account of the two major campaigns to drive the terrorists out of the city.
