...ripped by bullets. The copters dance over the field, firing down. McCoy bounds into the palm grove, lobs a grenade over a small berm and opens fire on a group of men. When the shooting stops, Marines spread through Afak while human exploitation teams, U.S. soldiers who collect information, start interviewing locals. A group of Iraqis hanging out in front of a run-down gas station tell the Marines that all is cool, but clearly it is not. "Will this be a place where you Americans will stay, or will the Iraqis, the Baath Party, come back?" one of them...
...deserted. Then a sniper across the road starts firing on the convoy and is answered. The battalion pours through the streets, grabbing two teens who tell the troops that 250 to 450 armed Baathists have headed east, the last of them having left as the Marines arrived. The teams collect names of party officials and details on their vehicles and weapons. The biggest find: a book listing the names of all local Baath officials...
Gandhi, leaning on a lacquered bamboo staff, soon set out along the winding, dusty road. His destination: Dandi, 240 miles away, where 25 days later he would collect a few grains of salt in defiance of the British tax that forced locals to pay prices for the compound that were said to be up to 2,000% greater than its production costs.

Thus began Gandhi's campaign of nonviolent civil disobedience--and the beginning of the end of the British Empire. --By Amanda Bower
