I have been reading some accounts of the taking of Falluja. There are three fantastic stories to have a look at.

NYT: In Falluja, Young Marines Saw the Savagery of an Urban War

The Greenside: Email from Dave – Nov 19, 04

Kevin Sites’ recount of the mosque shooting: Open Letter to Devil Dogs of the 3.1

All are insightful reading, and well worth the time spent.
