Mike Yon's "Hunting Al Qaeda - Part II of III"

Posted By Blackfive

Summoning Fire Without Flint is about Iraqis and Americans working together and the work that Iraqis have done to become better warriors...and about Americans taking enormous risks:

...American Soldiers closed in. This was fantastically dangerous. I remember wondering what their families might think about them moving in to take the guys alive, when this could cost American lives. How would I write about such Soldiers should they get blown up by a suicide vest planted to specifically take advantage of our Soldiers’ sense of decency?...
