Description
The Chosen Few: A Company of Paratroopers and Its Heroic Struggle to Survive in the Mountains of Afghanistan By Gregg Zoroya, Hachette Books, 2018. In the remote mountains of eastern Afghanistan, a single company of US paratroopers embarked on a perilous mission to win the hearts and minds of the local people. Instead, they found themselves embroiled in a desperate struggle with the Taliban that would last for fifteen months. The Battle of Wanat, the war's deadliest conflict, was just one chapter in this harrowing story. The Chosen Few returned home forever changed by their experience, tempered by the harsh realities of war. Theirs is a tale of courage, sacrifice, and the human cost of conflict. This book provides a gripping account of one of the Afghanistan War's most decorated units and their struggle to survive in a hostile environment. Through meticulous research and compelling storytelling, Gregg Zoroya brings this remarkable story to life, shedding light on the complexities of modern warfare and the men who fight it.
