{"product_id":"brooklyn-to-baghdad-christopher-strom-9781641601023","title":"Brooklyn to Baghdad: An NYPD Intelligence Cop Fights Terror in Iraq","description":"\u003ci\u003eBrooklyn to Baghdad\u003c\/i\u003e is the true story of a retired NYPD intelligence sergeant applying his street-cop tactics and interrogation skills against a lethal insurgency that had infected Iraq. A group of retired Special Forces soldiers and law enforcement experts came together to form the counterinsurgency group codenamed \"Phoenix Team.\" Exposing the corruption of both the Iraqi and US governments, the team faced serious setbacks and challenges. Brooklyn to Baghdad shows the effectiveness of Phoenix Team, their ability to process forensic evidence and human intelligence gleaned through interrogations at the point of capture to provide direct targeting for follow-on missions. This memoir also illustrates the politics of Washington, DC, and the US Army in the war-fighting effort, which continually hampered complete success while simultaneously preserving career aspirations. Throughout are many humorous and emotional anecdotes that reveal the men behind the missions and the toll the theater of war takes on real human lives\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christopher Strom, Jerome Preisler, Michael Benson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1641601027\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781641601023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Chicago Review Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/19\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.30w x 0.90d","brand":"Christopher Strom","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43979493572863,"sku":"9781641601023","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bb1d37f8-2062-44c1-8751-5f5d20c3b735.jpg?v=1683245785","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/brooklyn-to-baghdad-christopher-strom-9781641601023","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
