Very insightful book. Only the first chapter or so is really about "inside the resistance." The rest of the book is a detailed history of events surrounding Iraq's modern history and the lead up to the current war. I recommend this to anyone who is looking to 1. understand what motivates the Iraqi insurgency and 2. obtain a cohesive understanding of current events in the Middle East and how they relate to each other.
