Overview

In this ground-breaking book, bestselling author and former U.S. Navy SEAL Dick Couch reports on the actions of the SEAL Task Unit during the Battle of Ramadi in Iraq's al-Anbar Province between 2005 and 2007. Couch details the previously unrecognized importance of the SEALs in winning the fight to control Ramadi. Calling the Battle of Ramadi one of the most significant military engagements in the global war against terrorism since 9/11 and the most sustained and vicious engagement ever fought by SEALs, he describes the success of special operations forces and Navy SEALs fighting side by side with conventional forces. Couch identifies the SEALs' ability to adapt and evolve in this deadly urban battle space and their code of brotherhood as the keys to their success on the battlefield. Among the many examples of this extraordinary brotherhood is the story of PO2 Michael A. Monsoor, who was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for his bravery during the Battle of Ramadi. When he began researching The Sheriff of Ramadi, Couch thought he would be writing about the SEALs' courage in the face of a losing cause. Instead, what he discovered was a startling success story in the war against al-Qaeda. It was a battle won with a strategy of deploying Navy SEALs alongside regular forces in a joint operation to fight a major battle against terrorists in the urban war zone of Ramadi. Based on this success story, Couch argues that the lessons of Ramadi call for using this strategy more widely to win the ongoing war against al-Qaeda and their allies.

Editorial Reviews

Library Journal

This is a detailed look at the work of U.S. Navy Seals doing counterinsurgency in one of the more hotly contested provinces of Iraq. Heavily promoted by its publisher, with a foreword by Sen. John McCain, this will no doubt be popular among those looking for success stories in a long war.


—Edwin B. Burgess

    Not what I expected

    I must say I was disappointed with this book. I expected an account of combat in Ramadi and this book does not deliver on that point. It does detail HOW the fight was done and how the fight was successful and is well written adn researched in this respect.

    However if you are looking for a account on the combat I urge you to look eslewhere.
