• A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR FOR: "THE NEW YORK TIMESCHICAGO TRIBUNE"SLATE.COM"THE BOSTON GLOBETHE KANSAS CITY STARTHE PLAIN DEALER" (CLEVELAND)"THE CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR"""WINNER OF THE HELEN BERNSTEIN BOOK AWARD FOR EXCELLENCE IN JOURNALISM It was the last-chance moment of the war. In January 2007, President George W. Bush announced a new strategy for Iraq. It became known as "the surge." Among those called to carry it out were the young, optimistic army infantry soldiers of the 2-16, the battalion nicknamed the Rangers. About to head to a vicious area of Baghdad, they decided the difference would be them. Fifteen months later, the soldiers returned home -- forever changed. The chronicle of their tour is gripping, devastating, and deeply illuminating for anyone with an interest in human conflict. With "The""Good Soldiers," Pulitzer Prize-winning "r"eporter David Finkel has produced an eternal story -- not just of the Iraq War, but of all wars, for all time.
