Descriere
Two years before the action in Lone Survivor, a Green Berets A Team conducted a very different, successful mission in Afghanistan's notorious Pech Valley. Led by Captain Ronald Fry, the Hammerhead Six mission applied the principles of unconventional warfare to "win hearts and minds" and fight against the terrorist insurgency.
Recenzii
"The
story
told
by
Captain
Ron
Fry
is
not
one
you
hear
often
when
people
talk
about
the
war
in
Afghanistan--and
that
is
precisely
why
everyone
should
read
it.
Through
him,
his
men
get
to
tell
their
history,
in
their
own
words,
and
anyone
who
cares
about
the
truth
should
care
about
this.
Hammerhead
Six
took
a
lot
from
them
because
it
goes
against
their
ethos
as
"quiet
professionals,"
but
as
you
will
discover
when
you
read
this,
integrity
can
be
one
of
the
most
powerful
weapons
of
war-and
nothing
but
that
can
prepare
you
for
the
unintended
consequences
or
the
moments
you
wish
had
never
happened

"Amidst torrents of hot brass and the smell of burnt gunpowder in Ron Fry'sHammerhead Sixare nuggets of wisdom that can only come from a warrior leader who has lived outside the wire, among those he fought and those he sought to help. Riveting, compelling, transparently honest and emotional,HammerheadSixis a must read for anyone wondering what could have worked in the 'graveyard of empires.'"—Tony Schwalm , author ofThe Guerrilla Factory
"Hammerhead Sixis a raw, hard-hitting and authentic war story that will become one of the most important books to emerge from the war in Afghanistan. Captain Fry tells a deeply human story that captures the remarkable courage of America's elite Special Forces soldiers. Reading it plunged me back into the exhilarating, heartbreaking experience of combat. Mr. President and Members of Congress, read this book immediately. If we do what Fry and his men did, we win the war in Afghanistan. Honestly it is that simple."—Sean Parnell, New York Times-bestselling author of Outlaw Platoon: Heroes, Renegades, Infidels, and the Brotherhood of War in Afghanistan
"Hammerhead Sixis the compelling story about a small team of brave men who were sent into the most hostile area of Afghanistan. They did what Green Berets have always done: They stood up for human rights, made friends and trained people to protect themselves. Taliban activity dropped dramatically and the surrounding area thrived. The unconventional victory of Captain Ronald Fry's unit provides inspiration and a way forward into the troubled and uncertain future. It is a textbook on how to get it right the next time."—Lt. Col. Marcus Custer, USA (Ret.)
"In the Special Forces tradition of combining exhilarating edge-of-your-seat suspense and challenging intellect,Hammerhead Sixtakes you down the treacherous road of what it is like to be a Green Beret in an ancient land, tasked to work by, with, and through the Afghan people to fight an elusive and brutal enemy." —Rusty Bradley, author of Lions of Kandahar
"In this thrilling tale, the reader gets to learn about a more positive war battle that was fought by relying on understanding instead of ammunition."—Deseret News
