Lost in Kandahar Listener Reviews

" A Kindle "Single"--a short biographical account of being embedded with the 101st Airborne division. An interesting "peek" into the Kandahar Air Field (KAF)and brief accounts from soldiers and their combat experience. "

" I admit I cried while I read this. Very close to home for me. Leftist leanings but I really liked it. "

" Stark. Honest. Raw. Profane. Real. I would definitely want to read an expanded version. "
— Mad_Maudie, 8/31/2013 -
" This short piece on the war in Afghanistan does not really contain any new information. Berenson is embedded with a unit and reports on the problems they face. For anyone up to date on the happenings, this covers familiar territory. "
