Outlaw Platoon

Heroes, Renegades, Infidels, and the Brotherhood of War in Afghanistan

By: Sean Parnell, John Bruning

Narrated by: Ray Porter

A riveting story of American fighting men, Outlaw Platoon is Lieutenant Sean Parnell’s stunning personal account of the legendary U.S. Army’s 10th Mountain Division’s heroic stand in the mountains of Afghanistan.

Acclaimed for its vivid, poignant, and honest recreation of sixteen brutal months of nearly continuous battle in the deadly Hindu Kesh, Outlaw Platoon is a Band of Brothers or We Were Soldiers Once and Young for the early 21st century—an action-packed, highly emotional true story of enormous sacrifice and bravery.

A magnificent account of heroes, renegades, infidels, and brothers, it stands with Sebastian Junger’s War as one of the most important books to yet emerge from the heat, smoke, and fire of America’s War in Afghanistan.

Wonderfully produced, the narrator captures the emotions and inflections correctly throughout the book. The story is telling and real, told without any political tone or agenda.

Wow

As I try to write this review I find myself at a loss of words.
To say this was an incredible story does not do this book justice.

A must read !

A gripping look at what soldiers go through

Great, heartbreaking, gives you a real look at men in combat. I will give you a greater appreciation for those that serve in war. It's well written and at points hurts to hear what the men of outlaw platoon went through. But it's something that every American needs to hear/read.

Incredible story

The storytelling is spot on. This book is incredible. Would recommend to anyone. Cheers. God bless America.
