Book Overview
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.

The Best of the Best

The best book I have read on the subject by far, plus I learnt so much from it. I have always had respect for our Military but this just raised it to a new level. Sean Parnell takes you right into it and blows away pre-conceived ideas. He does not rely on foul language and Rah-Rah as so many of the so called 'military writers' do (trying to be gritty and hardcore) or start you off when he was in diapers and how tough he became, but Sean just gets on with the job with the minimum of fuss, like the true professional he is. This is real courage , real brotherhood. It was hard to put this book down.
