"This book will add to the long and distinguished collection of marine history and is well worth the read for anyone interested in personal accounts of modern combat. It also provides a good snapshot into urban combat and the tactics and techniques necessary to succeed in it." — Military Review

In March 2004, the unprovoked ambush killing and desecration of the bodies of American civilian security contractors in Fallujah, Iraq, caused the National Command Authorities in Washington, DC. to demand that the newly arrived Marine Expeditionary Force there take action against the perpetrators and other insurgent forces. Planned Stability and Support Operations were cast aside as insurgent fighters dared the Marines to enter Fallujah.

Marine infantrymen, tankers, helicopter crews, and amphibious vehicle drivers all pitched into high-intensity battles and firefights during the first fights of Fallujah in April 2004. Across the board cooperation and innovation marked these fighting Marines in combined arms fights that no one expected. Marines fought in the streets, conducted house-to-house searches, cleared buildings of enemy, and used tank main guns in direct support of urban environment operations. Helicopter crews supported operations on the ground with rockets and machine-gun fire, and Amtrac Marines transported forces to face enemy RPG and machine-gun fire. Marines from infantry squad members to a battalion commander were interviewed by Marine Corps field historians within days or weeks of the events at nearby combat outposts and camps.

This book combines these interview notes and the words of the men themselves to create a unique narrative of Marines in this combat. Casualties only stiffened the will of the Marines to crush the enemy. A late April political plan called for the withdrawal of Marine forces from the city, and Marines at every level, though frustrated, understood the need to allow this attempted solution to play itself out.


这本书将为漫长的海洋史增添光彩,对任何感兴趣现代战斗个人经历的人来说都是值得一读的。它还提供了一窥城市战斗和获胜所需战术与技术的良好概览。” ——《军事评论》 2004年3月,美军平民安全承包商在伊拉克费卢杰被无端伏击杀害并亵渎尸体一事引起了华盛顿特区国家指挥当局的关注,他们要求刚抵达那里的海军陆战队采取行动对抗肇事者和其他叛乱力量。计划中的稳定与支援作战被叛乱分子用以挑战海军陆战队员进入费卢杰城。 2004年4月,在费卢杰战斗中,海军步兵、坦克手、直升机驾驶员和两栖车驾驶员都投入到高强度的战斗和交火中。在联合作战中,这些战斗中的海军陆战队表现出了令人意想不到的合作与创新精神。他们在街道上作战,进行逐户搜索,清除建筑物里的敌人,并使用主炮直接支援城市环境操作。直升机驾驶员在地面操作中用火箭和机枪火力支持行动,而阿马特船的海军士兵则将兵力运送至敌方火箭弹和机枪火力威胁下。 这些来自步兵小队到营指挥官的海军陆战队被海军陆战队战地史学家在事件发生后的几天或几周内采访过。这本书结合了这些访谈笔记以及受访者的自身话语,创造了一段独特的海军陆战队战斗叙事。伤亡只增强了海军陆战队击溃敌人的决心。4月下旬制定的政治计划要求撤出对城市中的海军陆战队力量,尽管海军陆战队在各个层级都感到沮丧,但他们理解允许这个尝试的解决方案自行发展是必要的。
