Summary of Bing West's No True Glory

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 In Fallujah, the residents did not cheer when paratroopers from the 82nd Airborne Division drove into the city in late April. In Baghdad, looters had stripped every government building, even carting away bricks. In Fallujah, the windows and electric fixtures at the Baath headquarters remained intact.

#2 The incident resulted in a wave of anti-American protests throughout Fallujah, and the American soldiers were held responsible for the deaths. The news outlets then reported on the cycle of revenge that followed.

#3 The city of Fallujah was a source of enforcers for the ruling Sunni-dominated Baath Party. It had a reputation for being tough, and it was home to many Iraqis who had been displaced by the Shiite uprising in 1991.

#4 The American forces in Fallujah were trying to win over the city’s leaders and its citizens, but many of the raids conducted by the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment scared the locals and created more enemies.
