Fallujah Redux: Lessons in Leadership and Engagement from the Fallujah Awakening

Lieutenant Commander Dan Green, who served in Fallujah in 2007 as a tribal and leadership engagement officer, is the co-author with Brigadier General William F. Mullen III of Fallujah Redux: The Anbar Awakening and the Struggle with Al-Qaeda, which provides a first-hand account of how the city turned against the insurgency. Mullen served as the battalion commander in charge of the city who successfully applied a counter-insurgency strategy to the city. Their book recounts their shared experiences of engaging with local tribes against al Qaeda, applying a population-centric counter-insurgency strategy to the city, and efforts to build local governing institutions. The lessons and perspectives detailed in the book have never been timelier as the United States again confronts the challenge of radical Islam in the region. Featuring Daniel Green, Defense Fellow, Washington Institute for Near East Policy and Author, Falluja Redux: The Anbar Awakening and the Struggle with Al-Qaeda; Moderated by Douglass Ollivant, Future of War Senior Fellow, New America
