520    "Attacks in the Fallujah peaked in 2006 when American and 
       Iraqi government forces struggled with a reinvigorated 
       insurgency and the prospect of premature withdrawal by 
       U.S. forces. Fallujah Awakens tells the story of the 
       remarkable turnaround that followed. Journalist Bill 
       Ardolino explains how local tribal leaders and U.S. 
       Marines forged a surprising alliance that helped secure 
       the famous battleground. It is one of the few books to 
       recount events from both American and Iraqi perspectives. 
       Based on more than120 interviews with Iraqis and U.S. 
       Marines, Ardolino describes how a company of reservists, 
       led by a medical equipment sales manager from Michigan, 
       succeeded where previous efforts had stalled. Circumstance
       combined with smart, charismatic leadership enabled 
       Americans to build relationships with members of a Sunni 
       tribe who pushed al Qaeda and other insurgents from their 
       notoriously rebellious area"--|cProvided by publisher.
