Rob Robinson and Joe Troutman discuss the book "Gods of War: The Legend of Black Hawk Company, 123rd Infantry," highlighting its easy readability and the lesser-known events of the Iraq War. They recount the pivotal day of June 24th, marked by multiple car bombs and the transfer of sovereignty to Iraq. Troutman details the unit's actions, including the recovery of vehicles and the decision to shoot the Sheik Fati Mosque minaret. They also discuss the book's impact, with over 650 copies sold and positive feedback from veterans and family members. Troutman is working on a new book, "Kings of Battle, Blood and Steel," covering the entire battalion's battle space in Mosul from 2009.
