US ARMY SPECIAL OPERATIONS IN AFGHANISTAN

• Day to day account of the Afghan campaign • ‘Warts and all’ details US Army Special Operations in Afghanistan chronicles the "boots on the ground" actions by US Army Special Operations Command (USASOC) from 11th September 2001, until 15th May 2002. What makes this book so significant is that the history was captured as USASOC troops (Green Berets, Rangers, PsyOps, SpecOps Aviation and Civil Affairs) were fighting the war, providing an easily understood snapshot of the war as it happened during those first critical months. The authors include the mistakes, frustrations and failures of the war along with the successes. Rather than an armchair historian's overall strategic view ten years later, it is an account of what individuals and small teams did with bravery, skill and honour on a day-to-day basis to rid Afghanistan of the Taliban and al-Qaeda terrorists, and assist the Afghan people and begin the vital work of rebuilding the infrastructure of Afghanistan.
