| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Iraqi insurgency refers to an ongoing warfare in Iraq, which began after the 2003 invasion of Iraq. The Iraqi insurgents are composed of a diverse mix of militias, foreign fighters, all-Iraqi units or mixtures opposing the United States-led multinational force in Iraq and the post-2003 Iraqi government. The insurgents are involved in asymmetric warfare and a war of attrition against the US-supported Iraqi government and US forces, while conducting coercive tactics against rivals or other militias. This book studies the Iraqi insurgency including the Ba'ath Party, the Badr organization, Operation Desert Thrust, Operation Ivy Blizzard, and the second battle of Fallujah.
