"Bristling with intrigue, deceit, power, and treason--once you pick this book up, you will NOT be able to put it down." --Brad Thor, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author
"A completely gripping story." --Clive Cussler, New York Times Bestselling Author
Eric Steele is the best of the best--an Alpha--an operative in a unit known simply as "the Program." A highly-trained U.S. Special Forces soldier who spent his career fighting radical Islamic militants in Afghanistan, Steele uses a deadly combination of espionage and brute strength to root out his targets and neutralize them. But sometimes the enemy gets a vote, and Steele knows all too well that every mission may be his last.
Steele is in Beirut when a CIA convoy is attacked and a nuclear weapon stolen. The strategic implications are bad enough, but when he and his colleagues in Washington investigate, it becomes clear that none of this was by chance--the perpetrator is a shadowy figure from Steele's past. Once a valued ally, he is now a formidable enemy who will stop at nothing to rain havoc down on those he believes have wronged him.
Sean Parnell uses his combat experience to recreate the adrenaline-fueled excitement and sheer terror of war.
--Doug Stanton, author of Horse Soldiers on Outlaw Platoon
"A detailed and utterly gripping account of what our soldiers endure on the front lines of America's war in Afghanistan." --Tim O'Brien, author of The Things They Carried
"A story of genuine emotion and drama. It's been a long time since we've seen a narrative that so accurately describes the bravery, loyalty, and character of America's warrior sons." --Steven Pressfield, bestselling author of Gates of Fire and The Warrior Ethos
"Bravo Outlaw Platoon is the real deal. It's a terrific tale of combat leadership." --Bing West, author of No True Glory and The Wrong War
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.
