Thunder Run The Armored Strike to Capture Baghdad

Based on reporting that was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize, Thunder Run chronicles one of the boldest gambles in modern military history. Three battalions, and fewer than a thousand men, launched a violent thrust of tanks and Bradley Fighting Vehicles into the heart of a city of five million and in three bloody days of combat captured Baghdad. Thunder Run is the story of the surprise assault on Baghdad-one of the most decisive battles in recent American combat history-by the Spartan Brigade, the Second Brigade of the Third Infantry Division (Mechanized).Zucchino, David is the author of 'Thunder Run The Armored Strike to Capture Baghdad', published 2004 under ISBN 9780802141798 and ISBN 080214179X.
