Description
The story of Operation Red Wings, a pivotal moment in the Global War on Terror, is told in vivid detail by author Ed Darack. The book reveals the complete, yet untold, story of the 2005 operation, which involved the US Marine Corps and Navy SEALs, and its follow-on mission, Operation Whalers. This is not a tale of a mission gone wrong, but rather a complex and difficult campaign that ultimately led to the demise of the enemy. The bravery and commitment of the 2nd Battalion of the 3rd Marine Regiment played a crucial role in the success of the operation, and their actions had a lasting impact on the country's ability to hold free elections.
