The Extraordinary Story of a Band of US Soldiers Who Rode to Victory in Afghanistan
A fast-paced narrative nonfiction account of a small group of CIA paramilitary officers and U.S. Army Special Forces who, in the weeks after September 11, 2001, slipped into Afghanistan, linked up with Northern Alliance fighters, and rode into battle on horseback across harsh terrain to call in U.S. air power and topple the Taliban; the book follows their improvised tactics, close bonds with Afghan allies, personal acts of courage and loss, and the chaotic, morally complex beginnings of America’s war in Afghanistan.
