This Iraq War memoir shares “a gritty inside look at a Special Forces team at war” and how the author’s outgunned Green Berets won a dramatic battle (Publishers Weekly).
On April 6th, 2003, twenty-six Green Berets, including those of Sergeant 1st Class Frank Antenori’s Special Forces A-team (call sign Roughneck Nine-One), confronted a vastly superior force—including battle tanks and more than 150 well-trained and well-equipped soldiers—at a remote crossroads near the small village of Debecka, Iraq.
Along the way, they endured a US Navy F-14 dropping a 500-pound bomb on supporting Kurdish Peshmerga fighters, the ever-present threat of WMDs, and countless other deadly obstacles.
This is the never-before-told, no-holds-barred story of how one Special Forces A-team recruited and organized, trained and eventually fought—and won—a legendary conflict that will influence American military doctrine for years to come.
