Product Description
It is the winter of 2001. A terror ship is bound for Britain carrying a horrifying weapon. The British military sends a crack unit of SAS and SBS to assault the vessel before she reaches London. So begins a true story of explosive action as this band of elite warriors pursues the merchants of death from the high seas to the harsh wildlands of Afghanistan. The hunt culminates in the single greatest battle of the Afghan war, the brutal and bloody siege of an ancient mud-walled fortress crammed full of hundreds of Al Qaeda and Taliban.

Absolutely AMAZING!!!, Jun 3 2009
By Chris - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Bloody Heroes (Hardcover)
The other reviews on Amazon have summed up my review pretty well.This book covers - in its entirety - a seemingly forgotten battle early in the Afghanistan War/Conflict/Police Action or whatever it's being called these days.
The book was written by a Brit, mostly about Brits, so expect some "colonial" put-downs against our American boys. However, they are typically good-natured and are used sparingly.
Anyway, this book is a quick read and is bursting at the seams describing contemporary warfare at its quickest and bloodiest.
This book is highly recommended for anyone interested in the Qala-I-Janghi (Fortress of War), the War in Afghanistan, Special Forces operations, a war account from America's most steadfast ally, a break-neck action story, or just anyone who wants to read an interesting and entertaining story.
Simply put - BUY THIS BOOK AS SOON AS YOU CAN!

This review is from: Bloody Heroes (Mass Market Paperback)
If you have an interest in special operations and the GWOT, this book is a must read. The author's account of the Battle of Qala-I-Janghi Fortess early in the war on terror is amazing.
