Samenvatting	Thunder Run is the inside story of one of the most brutal and decisive battles in combat history. It is the story of how, with fewer than a thousand men, and facing dug-in Iraqi forces, the Second ('Tusker') Brigade of the Third Infantry Division punched a hole through the heart of Baghdad with a high-speed charge to Saddam Hussein's Presidential Palace and Republican Guard headquarters. A riveting account of how soldiers really respond under fire - and how human frailties are magnified in a war zone. Many people believe that Baghdad was taken with a minimum of effort. But for the Tusker Brigade this was a cruel and terrifying three days of urban warfare. This compulsively readable book, written by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist David Zucchino, does for the battle for Baghdad what Mark Bowden's best-selling Black Hawk Down did for the firefight in Mogadishu. It is a riveting portrait of the face of battle.
