Also there's a book by a guy named Bing ( ? I think that's his name, he was undersecratary of Defense or something under Reagan back in the day ) about the Marines and the Fallujah campaign. It's like Hammel with the big picture interspersed with the individual accounts. There's another book written about the same tour by a reporter from San Fran or Oakland which is just terrible. -JW

Fallujah is also discussed in Tom Ricks "Fiasco", but from a higher level point of view. It seems to mostly point out how the Marines did not want to go into Fallujah I, but were forced to by higher authority, and were pulled out. But had more time to plan for Fallujah II.
