The Outpost: An Untold Story of American Valor Audiobook (Free)

Summary:

The heartbreaking and inspiring story of one of America’s deadliest fights through the war in Afghanistan, acclaimed by critics everywhere as a classic.

*Soon to be a major motion picture from Millennium Movies*

At 5:58 AM on October 3rd, 2009, Fight Outpost Keating, located in frighteningly vulnerable terrain in Afghanistan just 14 miles from the Pakistani border, was viciously attacked. Though the 53 Americans right now there prevailed against nearly 400 Taliban fighters, their casualties made it the deadliest fight of the war for the U.S. that calendar year. Four months after the fight, a Pentagon review uncovered that there is no reason behind the soldiers at Keating to have already been there to begin with.

In THE OUTPOST, Jake Tapper gives us the powerful saga of COP Keating, from its establishment to eventual destruction, introducing us to an unforgettable cast of soldiers and their families, and to a location and war that has remained profoundly distant to most Americans. A runaway bestseller, it makes a savage battle true, and American courage express.
