Description
Lions of Kandahar: A Raw and Unforgettable War Story
In 2006, Captain Rusty Bradley found himself in a desperate situation in southern Afghanistan. The Taliban were closing in on the strategically vital city of Kandahar Province, and it was clear that the NATO coalition's grip on the area was slipping away. To stop them, Operation Medusa was launched, the largest offensive in its history. Bradley's Special Forces A-team was tasked with holding a key piece of high ground, Sperwan Ghar, against nearly a thousand seasoned fighters. The ensuing firefight was savage and unforgettable, and Bradley recounts the whole remarkable story as it actually happened. With crisp writing and page-turning action, he brings to life the men who impossibly won the day - Americans and Afghans alike. This powerful account of a pivotal battle in the war in Afghanistan is a gripping read that sheds light on the bravery and heroism of those involved.Related Products
