In a remote, enemy-held valley in Afghanistan, a Special Forces team planned to scale a steep mountain to surprise and capture a terrorist leader. But before they found the target, the target found them…
The team was caught in a deadly ambush that not only threatened their lives, but the entire mission. With total disregard for their own safety, they tended to their wounded and kept fighting to stay alive.
Based on dozens of interviews with those who were there, the book No Way Out: A Story of Valor in the Mountains of Afghanistan is a compelling narrative of an epic battle that not only tested the soldiers’ mettle but serves as a cautionary tale.
