More About This Book

Overview

On March 23, 2003, in the city of An Nasiriyah, Iraq, members of the 507th Maintenance Company came under attack from Iraqi forces who killed or wounded twenty-one soldiers and took six prisoners, including Private Jessica Lynch. For the next week, An Nasiriyah rocked with battle as the marines of Task Force Tarawa fought Saddam's fanatical followers, street by street and building to building, ultimately rescuing Private Lynch.

    Marine Corps Spirit

    Richard, as the first Marine to go all the way through Ambush Alley and the Marine who is on the front cover of this book, I thank you for finally getting our story so perfectly accurate right down to the smallest detail. You have included all aspects of this fight from Private to General and shown how every Marines battle was different, yet all had one common goal to accomplish the mission no matter what the cost. I know that it has taken you a few painstaking years now to research and write this book. There have been other authors who have tried to tell our story, but have fallen short. Thank you for taking your time and not trying to be the first to make a buck off of someone else's misery. This story that you have told shows the world what U.S. Marines are about and how we will always prevail no matter how bad the situation is and what the odds are. Every Marine from Private through General knows that the people of the United States depends on them to do their jobs no matter what the cost. These Marines will sacrifice their lives to make sure their brothers survive to complete the mission so the people of the United States are safe and that the American way of life is preserved. Again, thank you Mr. Lowry for telling our story and the story of the Marine Corps spirit. The spirit is alive and strong. Every Marine that gives his life for our country makes the spirit stronger. That spirit is in every Marine past and present and getting stronger every day. That is why we will never fail. Always Faithful SSgt William Schaefer 1/2 Cco

    A must read for ALL Americans

    Absolutely excellent!! As the father of a Charlie Co. 1/2 Marine who was there (and is in the book) I can say that this is the most well-written, extensively researched and comprehensive account of the Battle of Nasiriyah that I have read (and I've read them all). All of the previous writings were replete with factual errors, and were obviously written with the purpose of going to print as soon as possible, rather than accuracy. I can personally attest to the lengths Mr. Lowry went to verify his information and to his desire to include the view from command on down to the grunt. I know that his overwhelming desire was to see that America NEVER forgets the sacrifices of our brave Marines, soldiers and sailors. Thank you, Richard, for an excellent job!!

    Another page....

    Richard Lowry has penned another important page in the history of the Corps. As one of the many Marines that took part in the Battle of An Nasiriyah I have read every book to date about the battle. Marines in the Garden of Eden is without a doubt the most accurate account of those seven days. Many questions about the battle have been answered for me. I couldn't put it down. I had to go out and buy my wife her own copy, working on reading it for the third time. Richard, Thank you for telling our story. Semper Fidelis
