We Were One

This book provides a gritty, boots-on-the-ground account of the intense house-to-house and hand-to-hand urban combat in Fallujah during the Iraq War. Patrick K. O'Donnell, who embedded with Lima Company's 1st Platoon, 3rd Battalion, 1st Marine Regiment, recounts the story of these Marines as they faced radical insurgents, suicide bombers, and other deadly challenges.

The narrative highlights the bravery, sacrifice, and brotherhood among the Marines, and it is praised for its historical accuracy and vivid descriptions of urban warfare.
