" At first it was a slow book with not very much excitement. Then when it got to the end it was awesome and the detail was great. "

" Fantastic! Breathtaking! Riveting! I loved this book because this story shows a side of combat and brotherhood often not seen, reported on, or even talked about. More closer to home for me, I was in Kandahar, at Kandahar air base, providing air control, coordinating aircraft, and close air support assets for the entire country during this time. The scariest calls we received were the "troops in contact" calls and this book helps illustrate why getting aircraft to our brother and sister soldiers on the ground, as fast as humanly possible, literally means life and death to those engaged in mortal combat with our enemies. I was also able to see, learn, and understand a bit more about Operation Medusa and the outstanding people involved with this vital operation. To Maj Rusty Bradley, to his Team, to the ANA, to the Special Operations community, and to all the other Solders, Sailors, Marines, Airman, military professionals and especially to the families, friends, and loved ones of our military members, thank you from the bottom of my heart for the sacrifices you have made, continue to make, and will always make.

" Good book about American special forces in Afghanistan . It's a page turner . I would give it a higher rating but current event books are not my favorite genre. I salute Rusty Bradley and his men, they are true heroes "

" Interesting, though sort of a so-so overall. What I liked was that the action took place not far from where I spent some of my early growing-up years. Of course, in these days with "Kandahar" in the title of your book, it's bound to get lots of attention... "

" A good read. I got lost following the some of names and the sequence of events describing battles, but overall a quality book. The author and his men are more genuine heroes than any coming out of the closet athlete Obama touts as a hero. "
