Spec Ops in Afghanistan

[.45TCB]

Just finished a great book about US Army Special Forces operations in Afghanistan during Operation Enduring Freedom.

The Hunt For Bin Laden: Task Force Dagger by Robin moore

Great descriptions of how a pretty small number of US operators worked with the Northern Alliance troops to defeat the Taliban and AQ forces. The book is unabashedly "rah-rah" towards the Special Forces teams, but I found it interesting and informative. Recommended for any THR-ers with an interest in the spec-ops community.

Just disregard any mention of a dude named "Jack" in the book. He is a self-aggrandizing con artist who conned Robin Moore into thinking he was Rambo. He frosted a lot of the SOF community with his actions in the stan and they are NOT what occured on the ground. "Jack" is a convicted felon con-artist. Other than, the book is supposed to be pretty good.
