In March 2003, 46,000 British troops were handed one of the toughest jobs of the entire Iraq War — take Basra, secure the south, and do it outnumbered. What followed left American generals like Tommy Franks, James Mattis, and James Conway genuinely stunned. This is the story of Operation Telic, the British military's fight against Saddam Hussein's regime, and what happened when America's top commanders watched their closest ally go to war. From the Royal Marines storming Al-Faw in a blinding sandstorm to the fall of Basra in 36 hours, this is a chapter of the Iraq War that doesn't get told enough.
