There can be few more dangerous places in the world today than
Iraq, and the authors of this new volume traveled in Iraq to
conduct research and gather photos for this volume. The focus is
entirely on the 1st Cavalry Division ("First Team"), which in OIF
II, was responsible for security in and around Baghdad, the
nation's capital.
Special Ops Volume 36 is a very complete description and summary of
the 1st Cavalry Division. The book covers the division's
organization, provides a brief history, before delving into its
deployment into Iraq. Of course this book concentrates on the
various missions performed by "First Team" while stationed in Iraq.
These include the bitter fighting in places like Fallujah and
Najaf, which are covered in detail. There are also particular
spotlight features on units such as 2-5 CAV (Task Force Lancer),
the 3rd Brigade Combat Team protecting the "Green Zone" in the
heart of Baghdad, the 4th Brigade providing aviation support, the
39th Brigade Combat Team ("Bowie Brigade"), and 2-7 CAV.
Throughout the book is a series of superb and clear photos that
accompany and illuminate the text. These photos give an accurate
view of current U.S. military operations in Iraq, and present the
whole gamut of personal weapons, uniforms, military and armored
vehicles that are being employed by the USA against the deadly
insurgency in Iraq. For anyone interested in military equipment and
combat, then this book is bound to satisfy with its knowledgeable
text and professional quality photographs!
