In “Mosul,” FRONTLINE presented an extraordinary look at the brutal battle to drive ISIS out of Iraq’s second-largest city, which some military commanders described at the time as the deadliest urban combat since World War II.
The people of Mosul had endured the repressive rule of ISIS for more than two years. This is the story of the men who fought back — and defeated the self-proclaimed Islamic State in their stronghold. Filmed on the ground by director Olivier Sarbil over the course of the nine-month battle, “Mosul” offers a stunning look at the high cost of the Iraqi Army’s liberation of Mosul from ISIS in July 2017.

I'm iraqi, i lost almost half of my friends during that war, i swear to God they were all like Amjad, brave, strong, full of life and joy, and either newly married or waiting for their first child, just like him.. we're fine now and safe because of them but it just ( till now) tears me apart whenever i remember how many Amjads we lost.. please pray for them

We lost Amjad in this war, and it is a beautiful coincidence that my name is Amjad and I was recently accepted into the Counter-Terrorism Service. When I saw Amjad, I was motivated to finish what he started. May God have mercy on you, hero. Same name, same spirit, same motives and goals, which are to preserve our people from brutal aggression.

Whatever you may think of our government, as an 🇦🇺 Australian, im sorry for the horrors your country has suffered, and wish you all 1000 years of peace and happiness. For your fallen soldiers, there is a peom we say in memory, i hope it carries its meaning in translation to your language "They went with songs to the battle, they were young, Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow. They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted: They fell with their faces to the foe. They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them. Lest we forget"
