📘 "The Good Soldiers" by David Finkel is an unflinching account of the Iraq War “surge” and the soldiers who carried it out. Drawing on a year embedded with the 2-16 Infantry Battalion, Finkel traces their deployment through Baghdad and the lasting impact of their return home. We'll explore this searing work of narrative journalism with the author and uncover its continued relevance in understanding war, service, and aftermath.
