Descriere magazin:
From the bestselling author of In Harm\'s Way comes a spectacular, harrowing, true-life soldiers\' tale of struggle and triumph in the wake of the September 11 attacks. b&w photographs. Now a major motion picture from Jerry Bruckheimer in theaters everywhere A thrilling action ride of a book ( The New York Times Book Review )--the New York Times bestselling, true-life account of a US Special Forces team deployed to dangerous, war-ridden Afghanistan in the weeks following 9/11. Previously published as Horse Soldiers , 12 Strong is the dramatic account of a small band of Special Forces soldiers who secretly entered Afghanistan following 9/11 and rode to war on horses against the Taliban. Outnumbered forty to one, they pursued the enemy army across the mountainous Afghanistan terrain and, after a series of intense battles, captured the city of Mazar-i-Sharif. The bone-weary American soldiers were welcomed as liberators as they rode into the city. Then the action took a wholly unexpected turn. During a surrender of six hundred Taliban troops, the Horse Soldiers were ambushed by the would-be POWs. Dangerously overpowered, they fought for their lives in the city\'s immense fortress, Qala-i-Janghi, or the House of War. At risk were the military gains of the entire campaign: if the soldiers perished or were captured, the entire effort to outmaneuver the Taliban was likely doomed. A riveting story of the brave and resourceful American warriors who rode into Afghanistan after 9/11 and waged war against Al Qaeda (Tom Brokaw), Doug Stanton\'s account touches the mythic. The soldiers on horses combined ancient strategies of cavalry warfare with twenty-first-century aerial bombardment technology to perform a seemingly impossible feat. Moreover, their careful effort to win the hearts of local townspeople proved a valuable lesson for America\'s ongoing efforts in Afghanistan. With spellbinding...action packed prose...The book reads more like a novel than a military history...the Horse Soldier\'s secret mission remains the US military\'s finest moment in what has since arguably been a muddled war ( USA TODAY ).
