Resumen del Editor
The preface is read by the author, Jimmy Blackmon.
Pale Horse is the remarkable never-before-told true story of an army aviation task force during combat in the Afghan War, told by the commanding officer who was there. Set in the very valleys where the attacks of 9/11 were conceived and where 10 Medals of Honor have been earned since that fateful day the war began, the narrative races from ferocious firefights and bravery in battle to the quiet moments where the courageous men and women of Task Force Pale Horse catch their breath before they take to the skies again.
Jimmy F. Blackmon writes with a power and hard-hitting honesty that leap out of the audio. He has the respect of the men and women of his brigade and a command of the narrative to tell their story. From pilots of lethal Apache attack helicopters who strike fear in their enemies to the medevac soldiers who risk their lives daily, these are warriors from a variety of backgrounds who learned selflessness and found the closest brotherhood they ever knew through the crucible of war.
Pale Horse both honors and commemorates the service of this elite task force from the unique vantage point of the commander who led them in battle.

Historia
At 6:00 a.m. on the morning of October 3, 2009, Combat Outpost Keating was viciously attacked by Taliban insurgents. The 53 U.S. troops, having been stationed at the bottom of three steep mountains, were severely outmanned by nearly 400 Taliban fighters. Though the Americans ultimately prevailed, their casualties made it one of the war's deadliest battles for U.S. forces. And after more than three years in that dangerous and vulnerable valley a mere 14 miles from the Pakistan border, the U.S. abandoned and bombed the camp.

Almost 2.5 million Americans have served in Afghanistan or Iraq since September 11, 2001. C.J. Chivers has reported from both fronts from the beginning, walking side by side with combatants for more than a dozen years. He describes the experience of war today as it is endured by those most at risk - the camaraderie and profound sense of purpose, alongside courage, frustration, and moral confusion mixed with technical precision. In these remote places where the reason for their presence is sometimes not clear, these young men kill or are killed, facing palpable and often constant threat of ambush or hidden bombs....

Historia
A single company of US paratroopers—calling themselves the "Chosen Few"—arrived in eastern Afghanistan in late 2007 hoping to win the hearts and minds of the remote mountain people and extend the Afghan government's reach into this wilderness. Instead, they spent the next fifteen months in a desperate struggle, living under almost continuous attack, forced into a slow and grinding withdrawal, and always outnumbered by Taliban fighters descending on them from all sides.

Navy SEAL Marcus Luttrell returned from his star-crossed mission in Afghanistan with his bones shattered and his heart broken. So many had given their lives to save him-and he would have readily done the same for them. As he recuperated, he wondered why he and others, from America's founding to today, had been willing to sacrifice everything-including themselves-for the sake of family, nation, and freedom.

In Legend, acclaimed best-selling author Eric Blehm takes as his canvas the Vietnam War as seen through a single mission that occurred on May 2, 1968. A 12-man Special Forces team had been covertly inserted into a small clearing in the jungles of neutral Cambodia - where US forces were forbidden to operate. Their objective, just miles over the Vietnam border, was to collect evidence that proved the North Vietnamese Army was using the Cambodian sanctuary as a major conduit for supplying troops and materiel to the south via the Ho Chi Minh Trail.

In a remote enemy-held valley in Afghanistan, a Special Forces team planned to scale a steep mountain to surprise and capture a terrorist leader. But before they found the target, the target found them. The team was caught in a deadly ambush that threatened not only their lives but the entire mission. The elite soldiers fought huddled for hours on a small rock ledge as rocket-propelled grenades and heavy machine-gun fire rained down on them.

The Only Thing Worth Dying For chronicles the most important mission in the early days of the Global War on Terror, when the men on the ground knew little about the enemy - and their commanders in Washington knew even less. With unprecedented access to surviving members of ODA 574, key war planners, and Karzai himself, award-winning author Eric Blehm cuts through the noise of politicians and high-level military officials to narrate, for the first time, a story of uncommon bravery and terrible sacrifice.

The harrowing events of Operation Red Wings marked an important - yet widely misreported - chapter in the Global War on Terror, the full details of which the public burned to learn. Victory Point reveals the complete, as-yet untold story of Operation Red Wings and the follow-on mission, Operation Whalers.

Southern Afghanistan was slipping away. That was clear to then-Captain Rusty Bradley as he began his third tour of duty there in 2006. The Taliban and their allies were infiltrating everywhere, poised to reclaim Kandahar Province, their strategically vital onetime capital. To stop them, the NATO coalition launched Operation Medusa, the largest offensive in its history. The battlefield was the Panjwayi Valley, a densely packed warren of walled compounds that doubled neatly as enemy bunkers.

They know foreign languages and cultures and unconventional warfare better than any US fighters, and while they prefer to stay out of the limelight, veteran war correspondent Linda Robinson gained access to their closed world. She traveled with them on the frontlines, interviewed them at length on their home bases, and studied their doctrine, methods, and history.

As a Veteran from the 101st, I knew i must read
this is a wonderfully detailed account of actions both in the air, and on the ground, of heroes. extremely detailed, multi view accounts of actual events. If you were in the military, served in Iraq or Afghan, know someone who has, or are just interested in military, read this book.

Great Book! Not a huge fan of the narrator.
I searched for a book or books similar to this one because I have researched the “Battle of Kemdesh/ COP Keating”. Prior to dish audiobook I listened to “Red Platoon” by Clint Romesha and “The Outpost” by Jake Tapper. This book talks about the event from the perspective of the aviators supporting the troops on the ground during several operations in Easter Afghanistan. My only gripe is that I feel narrators lack knowledge of military slang or jargon. There was a point in this book I almost stopped listening to it because the narrator kept reading out “D-S-H-k”. Yes it is written that way but it is called a “dish-ka” there is a point in the book he kept reading out the letters over and over it was killing me. Also weapon systems like the “MK19” are not called “M-K-19” we say “Mark-19”. The average civilian listener will probably not be bothered by this but veterans like my self will surely find this annoying after the 15th time you read it out.

Really well written.
Would you consider the audio edition of Pale Horse to be better than the print version?
Did not read print version
What did you like best about this story?
The detail and the performance.
Have you listened to any of Brian Troxell’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
First one of his I listened.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Yes, both.
Any additional comments?
I was very disappointed that the book ended, I could listen to this author for hours more. One of the most captivating books I've read. I suggest that anyone reading this book immediately read Red Platoon.

A front-line seat to the realities of war
Would you consider the audio edition of Pale Horse to be better than the print version?
I only listened to the audio. I did not read the book.
What did you like best about this story?
The incredible heroism, sacrifice, and dedication of our military to fight terrorists, even when the they know the orders they have been given were not made with good information.
The sheer number of medals given to these units was incredible. It probably should have been more
What about Brian Troxell’s performance did you like?
He had the right tone, tempo, and urgency in his voice to describe the action and keep me coming back for more. He sounded like a commander was speaking.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Death in the Valley

Kind of ho hum
The author's experiences. while worthy of re-telling, seem to be overshadowed by his recounting the experiences of others rather than himself. He goes way overboard with giving the life's story of everyone he mentions, coated with an overabundance of superlatives of their athleticism. joviality, attitude, and war-worthiness. However, he tends to give well-deserved credit to his people and the great job they did under difficult circumstances. Worth your time if you like "staff officer speak".

Exciting
The author did an amazing job vividly illustrating the battles but I was left wanting more. Also made me proud to serve.

Cavalry man and Assault pilot.
As a 2/17 Cavalry soldier from Desert Storm to an Assault pilot now, I feel the author captured the environment and terms we used both correctly and with the right amount of interpretation for those that are unfamiliar. I believe he also captured the intense emotions and context of their endeavors. I read this as I was headed out the door again to get my mindset right as a leader. Thanks to Col. Blackmon for his efforts and I hope many others read this book and appreciate it for what it is.
