'The book the MoD doesn't want you to read' - Daily Mail

Soon after British and American forces invaded Iraq they faced an insurgency that was almost impossible to understand, let alone reverse. 

Facing defeat, the Coalition waged a hidden war within a war. Major-General Stan McChrystal devised a campaign fusing special forces, aircraft, and the latest surveillance technology with the aim of taking down the enemy faster than it could regenerate.

Guided by intelligence, a small British special forces team met the car bombers' fire with fire and accounted for thousands of insurgents.
