Synopsis

A las 5:58 am del 3 de octubre de 2009, a justo 14 millas de distancia de la frontera con Pakistán, fue despiadadamente atacado el Puesto de Combate Keating, ubicado en un aterradoramente vulnerable terreno en Afganistán. A pesar de que 53 norteamericanos hicieron frente a casi 400 guerrilleros del Taliban, sus muertes convirtieron esta batalla en la más sangrienta y fatal de la guerra para los Estados Unidos en ese año. Cuatro meses después de la batalla, una revisión del Pentágono reveló que no existía razón alguna para que las tropas en Keating se hubieran encontrado allí.
En Puesto Fronterizo (The Outpost), Jake Tapper ofrece una poderosa descripción de la saga el Puesto de Combate Keating, desde su establecimiento hasta su eventual destrucción, introduciendo un reparto inolvidable de soldados y sus familias, un lugar y una guerra que siguen siendo profundamente lejanos para la mayoría de los norteamericanos. Un galopante bestseller, otorga realidad a una guerra salvaje y pone de manifiesto el valor norteamericano.

This should be required reading for every American. Reading this has evoked many emotions in me. Pride in these men, love for these men, sorrow for the loss, anger at our political leaders....the majority of our citizens have no clue whatsoever as to the price being paid by our armed forces. It is......more
