Thunder Run

The Armored Strike to Capture Baghdad

By: David Zucchino

Narrated by: Richard M. Davidson

Called “the best account of combat since Black Hawk Down” by Men’s Journal, Thunder Run is a no-holds-barred look at the sweep of Baghdad, Iraq in 2003 by U.S. armed forces. One of the boldest gambles in modern military history, the surprise attack on Baghdad by three battalions of tanks and APCs and less than 1,000 men total was the single stroke that is credited for ending the Iraqi war. The three days of fierce fighting that followed the initial attack are captured in stunning detail by Richard M. Davidson’s powerhouse narration.

Great!

Exciting story. Kept me in the action the whole time. What an amazing time in history.

Fantastic book

Had to read this book after I found out one of my NCO’s was actually part of this. It’s a good book. Narrator could brush up on pronunciation a bit, but it’s understandable

Thunder run is an epic win!

What made the experience of listening to Thunder Run the most enjoyable?

Yes, this is really and action packed read.

Who was your favorite character and why?

There really can't be one because you get little flashes of POV's

What about Richard M. Davidson???s performance did you like?

He did the voices really well and injected the right amount of emotion into everything.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Better than Blackhawk down.

Any additional comments?

Get this book you wont be sorry.

Great book, terrible narrator

I enjoyed it a great deal and it was enthralling. However, the narrator needs to find another profession, his voice is not entertaining

So Intense!

I never thought a book written in 2003 about the dash to Baghdad could be so damn riveting. No matter what type of military books you read, this one is a stunner. Starts off a bit slow, but by the time it was over I was so enthralled!
