Afghanistan War Books That Tell The Real Story

By Donald Fisher


Into The Fire is a book that was written by Dakota Meyer. In it, he describes how a group of Afghan soldiers were brutally ambushed by insurgents of the Taliban in the autumn of 2009. Meyer defied orders to stay with the vehicles, and instead led a series of attacks and rescued as many as he could. This is one of the many Afghanistan war books that goes beyond the soldier's time at war.

For a book that is full of action and raw emotion, look no further than Outlaw Platoon. In this book, which has been called the Band of Brothers of our time, Sean Parnell tells the story of one of the most difficult fights that happened in this country. The setting of this story is in the Afghan mountains in an area called Hindu Kesh, where the 10th Mountain Division was forced into a very hard fight that went on almost continuously for sixteen months.

Pat Tillman had the opportunity to play in the NFL and make millions of dollars. Instead, he decided he would join the Army instead so that he could serve America. Unfortunately, he was killed in battle, and Where Men Win Glory is a great book by Jon Krakauer that tells the amazing story of his life.

Dexter Filkins served as New York Times foreign correspondent for a long and successful career, giving him a unique perspective on the rise of the Taliban. He saw and reported on the September 11th attack, the wars in this country, as well as those in Iraq. His book called The Forever War has so much information and amazing stories that make the long turn of events easier to understand.

Steve Coll, winner of the Pulitzer Prize for journalism, write Ghost Wars about covers wars that took place in this country. His book points to the idea that the Islamic militarization that was seen was largely due to these covert affairs. The book even suggests that the 9/11 attack was a result of these wars building up.

The Chosen Few is a paratroopers' tale that did not go the way anyone going into it expected. Greg Zoroya writes about this group of troopers who were expecting to explore the wilderness, and only thinking they would come across mountain people who they hoped would be peaceful. Instead, they found themselves under constant attack and spent the rest of their time trying to withdraw from a deadly fight.

In Dog Company, Captain Roger Hill and Lynn Vincent both tell a story that sheds a poor light on the US Army. According to their book, the Army does not treat their soldiers well. At the heart of this story is Captain Hill choosing to disobey his orders so that he can save the lives of his friends.

Operation Medusa was what stopped the Taliban from reclaiming the Kandahar Province, which was all the stopped the southern Afghan regions from gaining control. Major Rusty Bradley gives his inside account of what really happened. His book, Lions of Kandahar, is co-authored by Kevin Maurer, who seamlessly weaves together this remarkable account.
