The prison at Abu Ghraib was still a relatively unknown part of America's War on Terror when - with no special training and their gear lost somewhere between the United States and Baghdad - the 152nd Field Artillery Battalion of the Maine National Guard was sent there to serve as guards in February 2004. Just before their arrival, the now infamous photos of the abuses suffered by the prisoners hit the world stage. Abu Ghraib became the focal point not only for global condemnation, but for the insurgents' outrage.

An interesting read from a lower enlisted perspective. Lacks leader's insight on why decisions were made or how the overall environment contributed to the deplorable conditions at Abu Gharib.
Many units mislabeled (Companies instead of Batallions, Battalions instead of Brigades) and some of the military vernacular is comically mispronounced.
