In the fall of 2009, Taliban insurgents ambushed a patrol of Afghan soldiers and Marine advisors in a mountain village called Ganjigal. Firing from entrenched positions, the enemy was positioned to wipe out 100 men who were pinned down and were repeatedly refused artillery support. Ordered to remain behind with the vehicles, 21 year-old Marine corporal Dakota Meyer disobeyed orders and attacked to rescue his comrades.

Very Good Read

What did you love best about Into the Fire: A Firsthand Account of the Most Extraordinary Battle in the Afghan War?
it was a very exciting read. you find yourself feeling as if you were right there with them
What did you like best about this story?
I liked the fact the author didn't try to glamorize himself or any of the others. They are just great American Hero's that have things go wrong, just like the real world. You never have the feeling that the truth may be being exaggerated to feed any egos
Which character – as performed by Zach McLarty – was your favorite?
Dakota. He seams like a good honest guy. But all the hero's in this book are worth noting. After all they all put their lives on the line for our freedom
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes. I did spend time sitting in my driveway listening until the chapter ended because i didnt want to miss anything
Any additional comments?
A very well written book. we really have some great Americans protecting us overseas

More than a million listeners have thrilled to Bill O'Reilly's Killing Lincoln, the can't-stop-listening work of nonfiction about the shocking assassination that changed the course of American history. Now the anchor of The O'Reilly Factor recounts in gripping detail the brutal murder of John Fitzgerald Kennedy—and how a sequence of gunshots on a Dallas afternoon not only killed a beloved president but also sent the nation into the cataclysmic division of the Vietnam War and its culture-changing aftermath.
