The Fighting 69th: From Ground Zero to Baghdad Paperback - 2008
by Sean Michael Flynn
With a charismatic mix of irreverent humor and eye-opening honesty, Flynn memorably chronicles the transformation of the Fighting 69th Infantry from a motley band of amateur solders into a battle-hardened troop at work in Baghdad. 16-page b&w photo insert.
Summary
One of the most celebrated units in the military for more than a century, by 1990, New York City's Fighting 69th Infantry Regiment of the Army National Guard was scarcely fit for duty. Its equipment was derelict, its discipline nonexistent, many of its leaders inept, and its ranks filled with kids barely out of high school who had little intention of serving their country for any longer than it took to get their paycheck, college credit, or job training. Then came the attacks of September 11 and the invasion of Iraq. In The Fighting 69th, Sean Michael Flynn, himself a member of the unit, chronicles the extraordinary transformation of this band of amateur soldiers into a battle- hardened troop at one of the most lethal sites of war.
