Publisher's Synopsis
A very good look at the stories that often go untold to most of the public. Most people know American sniper, maybe lone survivor, but there are thousands of more stories like these that need to be told.
Contemporary war history comes to life with chapters devoted to the evolution of Operation Anaconda, the capture of Saddam Hussein, the attack on the Intercontinental Hotel in Kabul, and other important battles and moments of the wars. His heroes include firefighters turned soldiers who did more than their duty, women who defied gender expectations to become ferocious fighters, wounded warriors who sacrificed everything to keep us safe, and many more of the bravest individuals America has to offer. Their stories keep the wars alive in our collective consciousness and drive us to think about the future of our country's armed forces.
