Amazing book, well written. It is about the initial US intervention in Afghanistan. Heroic US forces, in depth information about our initial venture. Worth a read for great background on the war ion Afghanistan. Sad story, proud of these brave men.

I am now switching to a fun read. "Bad Business", Robert Parker, "Spencer". Need a few chuckles and a good 'who done it' once in a while.
