About this product

They Called Us "Lucky" by Ruben Gallego is a firsthand account from an Arizona Congressman detailing the experiences of Lima Company, a Marine unit heavily impacted during the Iraq War. The book chronicles the unit's initial luck in avoiding casualties before facing devastating losses due to ambushes and improvised explosive devices. It explores the bonds formed among young Marines from diverse backgrounds, including blue-collar towns, immigrant families, and Navajo reservations. The narrative covers pivotal events such as the ambush that killed two Marines, the death of the author’s close friend Jonathon Grant, and the tragic Haditha incident that resulted in thirteen fatalities. Published by HarperCollins in October 2022, this 336-page paperback offers a gripping history of courage, loss, and resilience.
