520    Deployed to Iraq in March 2004 after the overthrow of 
       Saddam Hussein, US Marine Michael Zacchea thought he had 
       landed a plum assignment. His team's mission was to build,
       train, and lead in combat the first Iraqi Army battalion 
       trained by the US military. Quickly, he realized he was 
       faced with a nearly impossible task. With just two weeks' 
       training based on outdated and irrelevant materials, no 
       language instruction, and few cultural tips for 
       interacting with his battalion of Shiites, Sunnis, Kurds, 
       Yazidis, and others, Zacchea arrived at his base in 
       Kirkush to learn his recruits would need beds, boots, 
       uniforms, and equipment. His Iraqi officer counterparts 
       spoke little English. He had little time to transform his 
       troops?mostly poor, uneducated farmers?into a cohesive 
       rifle battalion that would fight a new insurgency erupting
       across Iraq. In order to stand up a fighting battalion, 
       Zacchea knew, he would have to understand his men. Unlike 
       other combat Marines in Iraq at the time, he immersed 
       himself in Iraq's culture: learning its languages, eating 
       its foods, observing its traditions?even being inducted 
       into one of its Sunni tribes. A constant source of both 
       pride and frustration, the Iraqi Army Fifth Battalion went
       on to fight bravely at the Battle of Fallujah against the 
       forces that would eventually form ISIS. The Ragged Edge is
       Zacchea's deeply personal and powerful account of hopeful 
       determination, of brotherhood and betrayal, and of 
       cultural ignorance and misunderstanding. It sheds light on
       the dangerous pitfalls of training foreign troops to fight
       murderous insurgents and terrorists, precisely when such 
       wartime collaboration is happening more than at any other 
       time in US history.
