  First-person accounts chronicling the 3/7 Marines engaging in intense street-by-street fighting to put down an uprising in Iraq in April 2004. During the April 2004 fights throughout Iraq, most media attention was focused on the city of Fallujah. However, at the same time, out on the border with Syria in and around the city of Husaybah, fighting was equally intense. This book tells the story of that period through many first-person accounts of intense fighting in the town of Husaybah, Iraq, during. It is based on interviews with Marines at all levels of the fight, from battalion commander Lieutenant Colonel Matt Lopez, USMC, to infantrymen and squad leaders. When the Lima Company commander Captain Richard Gannon (Call sign Lima 6) was killed on entry to an enemy-held building, the company’s executive officer, Lieutenant Dominique Neal (Lima 5) informed his Marines that he had assumed command with the radio message, “Lima 5 is now Lima 6.” It also details the heroic actions of Corporal Jason Dunham who saved the Marines around him by covering an enemy grenade with his body.Praise for Hell in the Streets of Husaybah “The young riflemen do not sound like college professors, and the officers occasionally seem to be weighing their words. . . . The overall effect is mesmerizing, as the reader is transported onto the battlefield, firefight-by-firefight, and even granted a glimpse or two into how individual Marines felt about what was happening.” —The Journal of America’s Military Past

  The Shocking Truth about Animal...

  The concept of animal rights is a deeply philosophical and ethical issue that challenges our views on how animals should be treated and regarded in society. At its core, animal rights is the belief that animals, like humans, have inherent value and deserve certain protections from harm, exploitation, and abuse. This perspective asserts that animals are sentient beings capable of experiencing pain, fear, and pleasure, and thus, they should not be subjected to unnecessary suffering or exploitation for human gain. 
  Historically, animals have been viewed largely as property or resources for human use, whether in agriculture, industry, or even entertainment. Over time, however, a growing awareness of animal sentience and the recognition of their complex emotional and cognitive abilities have led to significant shifts in how societies regard and treat animals. The modern animal rights movement can trace its origins to the mid-19th century, with the establishment of the first animal protection laws and the formation of advocacy groups dedicated to the welfare of animals. 
  The industrial revolution marked a turning point in the relationship between humans and animals, as it saw the rise of factory farming, animal testing for medical and cosmetic purposes, and the widespread use of animals in entertainment. These practices sparked widespread concern about the ethics of animal use, leading to the formation of various animal welfare organizations, including the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) in 1866. These groups campaigned for more humane treatment of animals, but it wasn’t until the 20th century that the concept of animal rights as a broader ethical movement began to take shape.
