About this listen

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.

Good stories are hard to find, even in war. Yet this story was a real pleasure to listen to from the get-go. Ive read and heard a hundred and one action packed war stories and its the honest accounts, the deep personal struggles in the face of great adversity that I find the most interesting. Children torn apart by war dying in your arms. How does one move on from such horrors? Its not just another 'We were in combat' stories. Its intense, tragic, richly expressed and beautifully written (in my opinion). Ray Porter narrates this like no other too, which is a big plus. If you like this I also highly recommend 'The Trident' by Jason Redman or 'Shantaram' by Gregory David Roberts. Life is too short to be reading duds. Enjoy.

As an Afghanistan war veteran myself, I can relate to this book very closely. The fact the author does not try to embellish or exaggerate tells me that he is not lying. To all my brothers out there, read this. You will not be disappointed.

Wow
