Synopsis

A powerful story of brotherhood, bravery, and patriotism that exposes the true stories behind some of the U.S. Army’s darkest secrets.After just six months in the violent province of Wardak, Afghanistan, a third of Captain Roger Hill’s unit, Dog Company, 1-506th, had been wounded in battle. Then two soldiers are killed on a routine patrol. Hill soon learns why he is losing so many men: Working with an Army counterintelligence team, he busts a dozen enemy infiltrators—spies working on his base, collecting American paychecks while also passing secrets to the Taliban.Hill orders the infiltrators detained, but the rules of engagement tie his hands. If he cannot transfer the spies who killed and maimed more than two dozen of his men to a higher level of detention within 96 hours, he will be forced to set them free.Hill, a West Point grad and decorated combat veteran, was a rising young officer who had always followed the letter of military law. Now, however, abandoned by his high command, he suddenly faces an excruciating choice: Follow Army rules on prisoner treatment, or damn the rules to his own destruction and protect the men he’s grown to love.

Goodreads review by Mike on August 26, 2017

This true story is very personal to me. My nephew, Grant Hulburt, was assigned to Dog Company and is one of the main characters in this book. I shudder when I think of what this country asked of him - and all the others who have served our country in Iraq and Afghanistan. The American people have don......more

Goodreads review by Shon on April 12, 2017

This book is very well written and tells the story through the eyes of several Infantry Combat Soldiers. They fought not only the Taliban but their chain of command that was suppose to have their back, but left them to the wolves. This is a remarkable book that is a must read. If America fights in w......more

What does it take to hold a prisoner in a war? You just might be surprised at the politics involved that most American's know absolutely nothing about, and if they did, I believe most would be as outraged as I am. It seems like America has to always come out like the good guy during the war and thus......more
