Outlaw Platoon: Heroes, Renegades, Infidels, and the Brotherhood of War in Afghanistan
<b>THE <i>NEW YORK TIMES</i> BESTSELLER</b><br /><b></b><br />A riveting story of American fighting men, <i>Outlaw Platoon</i> is Lieutenant Sean Parnell's stunning personal account of the legendary U.S. Army's 10th Mountain Division's heroic stand in the mountains of Afghanistan. Acclaimed for its vivid, poignant, and honest recreation of sixteen brutal months of nearly continuous battle in the deadly Hindu Kush, <i>Outlaw Platoon</i> is a <i>Band of Brothers</i> or <i>We Were Soldiers Once and Young</i> for the early 21st century--an action-packed, highly emotional true story of enormous sacrifice and bravery.<br />A magnificent account of heroes, renegades, infidels, and brothers, it stands with Sebastian Junger's <i>War </i>as one of the most important books to yet emerge from the heat, smoke, and fire of America's War in Afghanistan.
