"A ground commanders view of Operation Anaconda and how things went so wrong yet the determination of the American fighting man gets thru. Navy SEAL, Neil Roberts died on the battle ground and the area is now known at Roberts Ridge." — James (5 out of 5 stars)
"A ground commanders view of Operation Anaconda and how things went so wrong yet the determination of the American fighting man gets thru. Navy SEAL, Neil Roberts died on the battle ground and the area is now known at Roberts Ridge."
" You can't help but admire the tremendous leadership and courage displayed by all the Rangers in this story. When you finish the book, make sure to watch the Dateline documentary "Rescue on Robert's Ridge" "
" I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this book. I'm not a military buff in any way, and yet still found this completely readable and engaging. "
" A well written personal account of Operation Anaconda, and the struggles that followed. "
" A definite page turner for the portion of the book where he is in combat. That portion was a 5-start effort. The transition from combat to deployment in Iraq and then into the challenges of returning to civilian life didn't flow well for me. "
" The first 2/3 of this book rocked...it had me hook, line and sinker. The last 1/3 dragged and it was all I had in me to finish it. Had the beginning not been so suspenseful I would have stopped reading but I kept hoping it would get better. I was wrong "
" Great read for any soldier or military family, especially for those who have been deployed "
" Wish i could rate it 4 1/2. I only give 5s to amazing books, but this was better than a 4. "
" A good story for the first 3/4...it got a little choppy and preachy in the last 1/4 of the book. "
" I tried hard to like it, but at 35%, I put it down. The story seems to really drag and I never felt like I ws getting to the heart of the book. Sorry! :( "
" A great story of the Rangers who rescued a missing SEAL team in the mountains of Afghanistan. Self does a good job compartimentalizing the war in real-time and the war within himself. Good action details too. Wonderful read. "
" Still reading this, but it is truly interesting, makes me think there are warriors out there fighting for our freedom everyday while were home trying to figure out what to watch on tv that night.... "
