This week The Institute for the Study of War hosted a discussion on the 2007-2008 U.S. troop surge in Iraq in conjunction with the release of a new documentary entitled The Surge: the Untold Story at the National Press Club in Washington.

Colonel David Sutherland and Lt. Gen. James Dubik, both deployed during the Surge, discussed the documentary detailing the troop increase and its effects on the war. They were joined by New York Times’ chief military correspondent Michael Gordon and ISW President Dr. Kim Kagan.
