Outlaw Platoon
Heroes, Renegades, Infidels, and the Brotherhood of War in Afghanistan
Descrizione del libro
A riveting story of American fighting men, Outlaw Platoon 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 Kesh, Outlaw Platoon is a Band of Brothers or We Were Soldiers Once and Young for the early 21st century—an action-packed, highly emotional true story of enormous sacrifice and bravery.
A magnificent account of heroes, renegades, infidels, and brothers, it stands with Sebastian Junger’s War as one of the most important books to yet emerge from the heat, smoke, and fire of America’s War in Afghanistan.

Very intense descriptions of combat. Couldn’t stop listening. However, the viewpoint is very American - Afghans are mostly „the enemy“ apart from a very very small number of civilians that had suffered under „the enemy“. Americans are mostly described as the absolute heroes that can do no wrong. Still, if you don’t expect a neutral description, this book is very good.
