The book is a journalistic scoop, the first and only insider account of the resistance, and by a well respected journalist.

Most other titles of a similar nature rely on secondary sources or regurgitated material everything in this book is first hand and new, where nearly all western intelligence agencies have failed, Zaki Chehab is perhaps the only journalist to have gained access to and the confidence of the Iraqi Insurgents. He reports from amongst them - essentially answering "Who exactly are the insurgents?" "What do they actually want?" 'What really is the American strategy on the ground?'
