Headhunter: 5-73 CAV and Their Fight for Iraq's Diyala River Valley

Headhunter is a gripping account of an Airborne Reconnaissance Squadron's fifteen-month deployment in Iraq in 2006.

Hand-selected by their command team, these paratroopers were tasked with an enormous mission despite being half the size of a full-strength battalion.

Despite the heavy toll of twenty-two lost comrades, they launched the Turki Bowl campaign and were awarded the Presidential Unit Citation.

This book provides a unique perspective on the War on Terror, told by those who fought bravely in Diyala Province.

It explores the human dimensions of loss and struggle through interviews with the paratroopers and their families, providing a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made in combat.
