Publisher's Synopsis
NINE-ONE DON'T RUN' On April 6, 2003, twenty-six Green Berets, including those of Sergeant First Class Frank Antenori's Special Forces A-team (call sign Roughneck Nine-One), led a violent battle against a vastly superior force at the remote crossroads near the village of Debecka, Iraq. In a legendary conflict, they stopped an enemy unit that included battle tanks, 150 well-trained, well-equipped and well-commanded soldiers. Any normal American light infantry fighting such an imposing force would have turned and run for cover, but not the Green Berets. Nine-One Don't Run was Antenori's team's motto from the very beginning. In a spectacular fight, they battled Iraqi tanks and personnel until only a handful of Iraqi survivors finally fled the battlefield. Roughneck Nine-One is the never-before-told, un-sanitized, and unedited story of this extraordinary feat. Roughneck Nine-One is a rare and unexpectedly personal look into the elite world of a Special Forces A-team.' -Jack Coughlin, New York Times bestselling author of Shooter Sgt.
