The battle is for a city. The war is for history. In autumn 2016, Iraqi forces began operations to recapture Mosul from the Islamic State. Millennia-old, Mosul was a birthplace of Western culture but also infamous for its cruelty, from the Assyrians to Saddam Hussein. Through the eyes of soldiers and families and jihadis, award-winning reporter James Verini chronicles the combat that followed. Among the most devastating urban conflicts since World War II, the battle for Mosul was both archaic and modern. Troops and jihadis fought house by house, block by block, matching bullet for bullet, while co-ordinating their movements on WhatsApp and uploading execution videos. Verini describes how this viciously contested patch of earth came to represent a war for the soul of a country, for its history and its future.

After a brutal nine-month campaign in 2016-2017 to liberate Mosul from the Islamic State, Iraqi security forces (ISF) retook Iraq's second largest city. This battle was the largest conventional land battle since the capture of Baghdad by coalition forces in 2003 and the first sustained urban operation involving U.S. forces since the 1968 Battle of Hue. The battle was principally conducted by ISF (the Iraqi Army, air force, special operations forces, counterterrorism forces, and police) that planned and led the fighting. These Iraqi forces were greatly aided by an integrated advise-and-assist network provided by the U.S. and coalition forces that accompanied ISF into the fight, down to the tactical level. Coalition elements also aided ISF in the defeat of the Islamic State and the recapture of Mosul through the provision of critical enablers such as combined, joint, and supporting fires; intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities; and logistical networks. These efforts were supported by a force generation effort to prepare, train, and equip ISF for combat. All of this was necessary as the Islamic State proved to be a capable and adaptable hybrid force capable of establishing a robust, layered urban defense with coordinated capabilities across multiple domains. However, Iraqi ground forces -- operating with their advise, assist, accompany, and enable formations, enabled by coalition capabilities in all domains -- were able to conduct successful combined arms operations while simultaneously consolidating gains in order to defeat the Islamic State on this multi-domain battlefield. This 2017 report by the internationally staffed Mosul Study Group seeks to provide the U.S. Army with initial insights into what Operation EAGLE STRIKE teaches it about operations in dense urban terrain, security force assistance, joint fires, and fighting on a multi-domain battlefield against hybrid adversaries.

"Operation Inherent Resolve's Battle of Mosul (October 2016- July 2017) was one of the most pulverizing battles in recent times, and it resulted in the tactical defeat of the Islamic State. Looking to capitalize on it, U.S. Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) commissioned the Mosul Study Group to provide a report. The goal of the report was to glean lessons from the battle and get them back out to the force as quickly as possible. TRADOC and the Mosul Study Group succeeded in this endeavor, publishing What the Battle of Mosul Teaches the Force a mere two months after it had formally concluded. However, TRADOC and the Mosul Study Group's haste resulted in missing that Mosul was decisive in relation to the larger campaign to defeat the Islamic State in Iraq. Further, the report failed to articulate the paradoxical role that precision-strike capabilities and precision-guided munitions played. Lastly, the report failed to highlight that it was a block-by-block positional battle of attrition in which steel, sweat and blood saved the day -- not new doctrinal concepts, Facebook 'likes' or Twitter branding. In its haste, TRADOC's report, which reads more like narrative reinforcement than actual lessons from the battle, runs the risk of de-legitimizing future 'lessons learned' work. The faulty research methods exemplified here -- such as issuing a report on lessons learned a mere two months after battle concludes and reporting that reinforces existing doctrinal redilections at the expense of challenging and assessing doctrinal utility -- need to be addressed. Otherwise, reports like this run the risk of telling the Army what it wants to hear and not what it needs to hear" -- Publisher's web site.

From June 2014 to July 2017, the invasion by the terrorist group Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (also known as ISIS, ISIL, or Daesh) led to the destruction of the ancient city of Mosul, leading thousands of civilians to flee due to the conflict, leaving behind an abandoned city of rubble. The destruction was targeted towards specific symbolic buildings to attack and delegitimise the diversity of Iraq's ethnic and religious populations, generating not only physical ruins, but social and mental divides as well. Ensuring a prosperous future for Iraq requires supporting the youth's resilience and rehabilitation of the overwhelming psychological impurities from the aftermath of the war, so that they can work and hope towards a more positive future for themselves and for the country. The loss of urban identity during the war is a major concern for citizens as new plans for the reconstruction of Mosul increases fears that national identity will be erased due to modernization, leading to further obstacles in the healing and rebuilding process. With the challenge of globalization, it is essential that local and traditional building styles and techniques are applied to restore a sense of 'home' and 'place' and to portray the opportunities for the future of architecture and urban design in such conflict zones. An understanding of trauma-triggering spaces can help to design for a safe, comfortable, and therapeutic environment to help heal symptoms of trauma on an urban scale and empower community integration and development. This thesis seeks to design a space of post traumatic urbanism using the therapeutic qualities of architecture to rehabilitate and heal a wounded and traumatised population. Mosul's youth has faced extreme devastation, finally they can move forward from their lost childhoods and start to live, dream, and hope for a more positive future for the country. How can design within its limited capacity, provide the space required for healing and happiness whilst maintaining Mosul's rich history and identity?

A frontline witness account of the deadly urban combat of the Battle of Mosul told by former Navy SEAL and frontline combat medic Ephraim Mattos. After leaving the US Navy SEAL teams in spring of 2017, Ephraim Mattos, age twenty-four, flew to Iraq to join a small group of volunteer humanitarians known as the Free Burma Rangers, who were working on the frontlines of the war on ISIS. Until being shot by ISIS on a suicidal rescue mission, Mattos witnessed unexplainable acts of courage and sacrifice by the Free Burma Rangers, who, while under heavy machine gun and mortar fire, assaulted across ISIS minefields, used themselves as human shields, and sprinted down ISIS-infested streets-all to retrieve wounded civilians. In City of Death: Humanitarian Warriors in the Battle of Mosul, Mattos recounts in vivid detail what he saw and felt while he and the other Free Burma Rangers evacuated the wounded, conducted rescue missions, and at times fought shoulder-to-shoulder with the Iraqi Army against ISIS. Filled with raw and emotional descriptions of what it's like to come face-to-face with death, this is the harrowing and uplifting true story of a small group of men who risked everything to save the lives of the Iraqi people and who followed the credence, "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." As the coauthor of the #1 New York Times bestselling American Sniper, Scott McEwen has teamed up with Mattos to help share an unforgettable tale of an American warrior turned humanitarian forced to fight his way into and out of a Hell on Earth created by ISIS.

Robert Olson's "The Siege of Mosul and Ottoman-Persian Relations, 1718-1743: A Study of Rebellion in the Capital and War in the Provinces of the Ottoman Empire" tells the epic story of how the failed economic and diplomatic polices of the Ottoman Empire from 1718 to 1743 resulted in the inability of the Porte to come to the aid of the people of Mosul in 1743 when it was attacked by Nadir Shah Afshar, the greatest Shah of Persia since the time of Shah Abbas the Great. Olson brilliantly accounts the reasons why Nadir Shah, the great conqueror of Mughal India in 1739, was also unable to capture Mosul in 1743. The siege became a symbol of patriotic war, a jihad, for the defense of the homeland. This book could hardly have appeared at a more propitious time in the history of the peoples of Iraq and Iran and the Middle East. In a new introduction, Olson stresses that the major geopolitical and geostrategic consequence of the siege was that Great Britain and Russia--two non-Muslim empires--were then to dominate the Middle East and Central Asia (and India) right up to 1948. The Ottoman and Persian failures at Mosul in 1743 should have served as lessons well learned. But 274 years later, as the current 'Battle for Mosul' rages--they were not.

From the best-selling author of The Commando and Born to Fight comes a fascinating investigation of modern warfare that combines methodical research and the fast-paced action of battle with the personal stories of the combatants on both sides of the line. Taking us from the suburbs of western Sydney and Australia's military army bases, to the battlefields of Afghanistan and Iraq, this is a remarkable book that reveals the as-yet untold story of the battle for Mosul and the secret involvement of Australians on both sides of the war - both our Commandos and Australian ISIS fighters. Mosul details the rise of ISIS influence in Australia, the Iran and Australia allegiance to fight Daesh and shows what led up to the battle and the ramifications that are still being felt at home - by our soldiers and the victims of that war.Ben Mckelvey has extraordinary access to SOOCOMD/2COMMANDO units - the most decorated modern Australian fighting unit; ISOF - Iraq's premier fighters; Yazidis women who had been slaves of ISIS; returned Commandos and their devastated families, and explains how petty criminals in Western Sydney became some of our worst jihadists who took their families to Iraq to fight for ISIS. Focusing on the stories of key figures like 2 Commando's Ian Turner and one of Australia's most infamous Jihadist, Khaled Sharrouf, Mckelvey takes us the heart of this brutal battle and brings history to life in an honest, thoughtful and compelling examination of modern warfare.A must-read for anyone interested in modern military history.
