Oceanside CA (PRWEB) June 28, 2006 -- The Best Seller, “Street Fight in Iraq,” leaves no doubts if you wonder what it’s like fighting with the US Marine Corps Expeditionary Forces in Iraq. Readers are in for a hair raising ride when they read Leatherneck Publishing’s latest book release by Gunnery Sergeant Patrick Tracy.

A seasoned 19 year Marine Corps Warrior of many battles, GySgt Tracy takes the reader second by second on heart pounding, breath stopping missions through the streets of Ramadi seeking out the terrorists who hide in the shadows of inhumanity. Around the next corner awaits a surprise ambush, a massive fire fight or a little child wired for your touch.

GySgt Tracy is a master at describing each moment as he lived it. He recorded each event in his personal mission log over a seven month tour of duty in one of the hottest combat zones, Ramadi, Iraq.

"Street Fight in Iraq" relates with great candor the unvarnished realities of dealing with day to day combat in and around Ramadi. Readers will be shocked, fascinated, outraged and frustrated when they read about the fight for Democracy and Peace in Iraq. This book is about Marines who made the journey to combat and the unbelievable events that made up their seven month combat tour. The language is harsh, the writing brutally honest and the message clear. This is a definite “must read” for military and civilians alike.
