Run to the Sound of the Guns: The True Story of an American Ranger at War in Afghanistan and Iraq

From frozen mountaintops to dusty city streets and everything in between, <i>Run to the Sound of the Guns</i> is a compelling and deeply personal account of a husband and father who nearly lost his life 'leading the way' in America's secretive global wars.<br /><br />Nicholas Moore served as part of an elite special operations unit at the fighting edge of the Global War on Terrorism. He served for over a decade with the US Army's 75th Ranger Regiment on the battlefields of Afghanistan and Iraq. <br /><br />In Iraq, Nicholas participated in the rescue of Private Jessica Lynch, hunted Iraq's Most Wanted and experienced brutal street combat, including 160 night-time missions over one 90-day deployment in the insurgent stronghold of Mosul. While serving in Afghanistan, he was also part of the search and rescue operation for Navy SEAL Marcus Luttrell (author of <i>Lone Survivor</i>), and was on the ground again when a Chinook helicopter was shot down resulting in the death of 38 men and one military working dog. It was the single greatest loss of special operations personnel to date.
