Roberts Ridge: A True Story of Courage and Sacrifice on Takur Ghar Mountain, Afghanistan Audiobook

" Reading SEALs biographies for a research project...this one was a good one, very poignant story, well written, loads of examination of what happened. "

" Good stuff on the individual and tactical level, but it never addresses how the whole thing could be seen as a total clusterf**k and asks how in the hell it happened. "

" This is the best nonfiction war book I've ever read. A heart breaking, but true story. "

" Great, quick read. Real life heroes. Encouraging, sad, and inspiring all at the same time. "

" Good book, true story of dramatic events that happened in the mountains of Afghanistan. The only draw back is that the author uses a bit more technical/military language than thew average civilian is used to. Still a very good read. "

" A story of one mishap after another one. Then a story of not leaving anyone behind and how the special forces work together.Always sad at parts of the story but very brave men to do what they do. "

" awesome book, will bring tears to your eyes "

" Good book, reminiscent of Black Hawk Down. Fair details, intense fire fight on a huge mountain. "

" A quick read. Very focused narrative on a tragic accident that turned into a major small arms firefight that cost the lives of seven service members. Not quite 'Black Hawk Down' (which is the gold standard of modern military histories) but a good read nevertheless. "

" Very enjoyable book about close combat special forces in tough conditions. Great true story of modern warfare and the professional soldiers that fight today's fights. "

" Unique - it spans only 17 hours. SEAL team goes in. SEAL team gets shot up, loses man, chopper falls out of sky. SEAL team breaks contact with enemy. QRF team goes to save them. QRF team gets shot up. A one-sided tale, but interesting regardless. "

" While the narrative structure of this book is kind of confusing, the story is riveting. detailing some of the events that took place during "operation anaconda" when a navy SEAL fell out of a helicopter and the subsequent attempts to rescue him. "

" Ok Great if you like Military type books. "

" Really great book about one of the most intense, but little known, battles in Afganistan. "

" I bought this to help me get some background on SEAL TEAM 666, a book I'm writing for St. Martin's Press. This provided a lot of great insight into the sorts of missions they perform and is giving me tremendous help in formulating my fictional SEAL team. "

" Inteliggent & Brilliant & Courgages Soldiers. A must read. "

" I'm not typically a fan of military non-fiction, but this is a very well written account, almost close in quality to Blackhawk Down (the book, not the movie). "

" Great book detailing Operation Anaconda. If you enjoy books about current military history, this is an absolute must read. "

" This is one of the best books I've ever read...my MMCS at ODS knew this guy and my wonderful husband gave me this book for our anniversary "

" Fantastic book. I would recommend reading this book along with Two Wars. "

" Good book. You need a lot of technical knowledge to understand what they are talking about during it. It demonstrates how poor communication can get people shot up. A decent book, entertaining, and intelligent. "
