The First Cavalry Division came under surprise attack in Sadr City on April 4, 2004, now known as "Black Sunday." On the homefront, over 7,000 miles away, their families awaited the news for forty-eight hellish hours-expecting the worst. ABC News' chief correspondent Martha Raddatz shares remarkable tales of heroism, hope, and heartbreak.
"The word 'sacrifice' is used a lot...Martha Raddatz shows what the word really means."-- Thomas E. Ricks, author of Fiasco "Grit and high drama... searingly vivid evidence of the toll U.S. soldiers pay." -- New York Times "A picture of American valor and unflagging commitment." -- Rocky Mountain News "A poignant piece of work that will grab and hold you." -- St. Louis Post-Dispatch "A truly great book about men, women, and raw courage." -- Diane Sawyer, ABC News "Might well be the Black Hawk Down of the Iraq war." -- The Washington Post "A thoroughly gripping read." -- General David Petraeus, commander of Multinational Force Iraq |
