商品簡介
Now in paperback-The Lone Survivor was only the beginning...Victory Point is the riveting true story of the Marine missions that led to free elections in Afghanistan.
In late June 2005, media reports spread the tragic story of 19 U.S. soldiers who died at the hands of Taliban leader Ahmad Shah-and of a lone survivor who was rescued in the Hindu Kush mountains of Afghanistan. The harrowing events of Operation Red Wings marked the beginning of an important, yet widely misreported, chapter in the global War on Terror. Now the complete and untold story of Operation Red Wings, and the follow-up mission, Operation Whalers, is revealed.
It is the story not of a mission gone wrong, but of a complex and difficult campaign that finally saw the demise of Ahmad Shah and his band of barbarous fighters. Thanks to the valor of the 2nd Battalion of the 3rd Marine Regiment in the summer of 2005, Afghanistan was able to hold a free election that fall.
