Synopsis
Zinsmeister takes the reader into Iraq’s urban neighborhoods, rural villages, and guerrilla snake pits, and shows exactly how young American soldiers are quietly but inexorably choking off a terrorist insurrection and planting the seeds of a dramatically different Iraq. He talks with the GIs and their commanders at an intimate gut-level. He also talks with the men and women on the Iraqi “street.” What he discovered--in reporting that is dramatically reinforced in public opinion polls he analyzes—is a story missed or ignored by the mainstream American media: ordinary Iraqis back our war and occupation and the U.S. is on the verge of winning of a tough guerilla struggle. Gripping and perceptive, filled with raw candor and human interest, Dawn Over Bagdad is an up-to-the-minute report on America’s most urgent national struggle, as seen through the eyes of the U.S. servicemen and Iraqis who are in the middle of the most dangerous place in the world.
