Description
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.

5By RideCamelRideI read nightly to help me fall asleep and I solely read about war, mainly conflict in the Middle East, as its an incredible weight that soldiers who have been in combat carry for the rest of their lives. This book will be the reason I re-up to give and serves as these men did. I’m a far better soldier and leader after reading this thank you.Outlaw platoon

5By Yessi MejiaOutlaw platoon was definitely touching and inspiring. One of the best books I've read and for sure could not put the book down. It touched my heart and soul in ways I never thought to be touched. Forever in my heart the men that died for our country and gave their all to the very last and to those that went home safely, as well forever in my heart. God Bless you all for this amazing book.Outlaws
