Then LT. Sean Parnell takes you under the helmet and behind the body armor as he reveals how the men in the Outlaw Platoon acted and fought with dignity and determination in the most extreme mountainous conditions. It also reveals what it takes to lead men in this environment. It is riveting and you will come to know him and his men. So much so, that in the firefights, you will be wincing as LT. PARNELL describes the shells whizzing by. You will also learn what it is like for a leader to keep their wits to make decisions as all hell is breaking, and what courage it takes to step up and lead when a leader goes down. It is not rah rah, this book is frank and raw. I also reccomend Restrepo as a companion read.
A riveting story of American fighting men, Outlaw Platoon is Lieutenant Sean Parnell’s stunning personal account of the legendary U.S. Army’s 10th Mountain Division’s heroic stand in the mountains of Afghanistan.
Acclaimed for its vivid, poignant, and honest recreation of sixteen brutal months of nearly continuous battle in the deadly Hindu Kesh, Outlaw Platoon is a Band of Brothers or We Were Soldiers Once and Young for the early 21st century—an action-packed, highly emotional true story of enormous sacrifice and bravery.
