A Chance in Hell
With A Chance in Hell, Jim Michaels tells the riveting story of how a small band of officers turned Iraq’s most violent city into a model of stability.
Colonel Sean MacFarland’s brigade was charged with pacifying Ramadi, Iraq, without destroying it. MacFarland and his officers were vastly outnumbered by the enemy. Their superiors didn’t think they had a chance. MacFarland came up with a bold plan, setting up combat outposts, methodically eliminating al-Qaeda leaders and terrorist cells—and forming unlikely alliances with local tribal sheiks. Together the Americans and tribes fought al-Qaeda—and won.
Cited by President Bush as one of the war’s greatest successes, McFarland’s legendary operation comes to life in these pages.
