A book -- with Lt. Col Steve Russell ..... itâs out...
I found this at the site of 4th ID Association -- newsletter that has followed them through their deployment..."Hunting Down Saddam" by Robin Moore I heard retired CSM Mark Vargas talk about a new book on Fox News last Friday morning so immediately went out and bought it at my local Borders store. After reading it over the weekend, I can highly recommend that you get it and add it to your bookshelf and memorabilia from Iraq. Pages 138 to 257 (of the 257 page book) are focused exclusively on the 4ID and their search and capture of Saddam. The first half of the book is focused on background information and the 101st Airborneâs actions and success in killing Saddamâs two sons (Iâve just skimmed that portion thus far). There are several good color pictures of the capture site, of Tikrit, and 4ID soldiers. The longest chapter, "Letters from Tikrit" is made up totally of the detailed letters (historical quality) that 1-22 Infantry battalion commander, LTC Steve Russell, has written covering their actions from June through December leading up to finally capturing the key people who led to the capture of Saddam. All in all, a great addition (in my opinion) to anyoneâs library. List price of the book is $24.95 and ISBN is 0-312-32916-4. It is available at a 30% discount online at amazon.com and barnesandnoble.com. Might have to watch ABC news tonight, they interviewed him and his General -- well, maybe Iâll just record it and fast forward! Posted by: Sherry 2004-03-16 |
