I can't speak to all elements of the account. However, the author has accurately captured the colorful language, speech patterns, and behavioral impressions of one of the Rangers who climbed up the mountain: my son. He portrayed him correctly right down to his boot soles and SAW. If he did his portrayal of the other men on that mountain as realistically as my son's then he at least captured the thinking and actions of the men involved from their perspectives including background information.If you want tight action description and an armchair tactical analysis of the battle, then this is not it. However, if you want to understand the deep confusion and chaos of a small unit action on a tall mountain surrounded by savage enemies, then this is the right account. All the Ranger dead were my son's friends. I understood my son's deep grief better after reading the book and valued better his own contributions to try to save his friends.
*20-year vet, grunt, SNCO.Where this book succeeds is in showing the character of Nate Self, in controlling the fatal outcome of the series of errors that led to the Battle for Takur Ghar.This book is detailed and works hard to include all the detail from the after-battle report. Sometimes, it gets a little confused at times with the kinetics of the firefight. The author does not glorify the action and appears to try to maintain an honest portrayal of the factors that contributed to the Operators, Rangers, FAC/PJs and Aircrew involved in the contact.It reads well. For a nonservice person, I would recommend pausing and googling some of the gear and acronyms to better enjoy the book.Spoiler********************************************************************A lot of people will be familiar with this event, given it was the biggest loss of US forces in Afghanistan to that date. All the guys involved deserve respect and our thanks for being there, feet in the mud doing their job. What this book will do for the serving and retired reading this is show the SNAFU that has accompanied soldiers since Gaius Julius Caesar, George Washington, Patton and Westmoreland.The author leads the reader through the critical failures that led to this engagement. From mechanical failures delaying the DEVGRU team to force the insertion at the hot LZ; to the inability of command chain to provide CASEVAC.Overall, it is a worth reading, when any of the past documentaries on the topic paint the engagement as something planned versus an accidental, series of events putting US forces in an uphill attack, against suppressive fire, without the correct equipment and support.
Clear, concise account of the entire operation surrounding the death of Roberts as part of Operation Anaconda. If you have military experience, it will surely sadden you and frustrate you since the entire mission that led to this story was ill conceived and improperly planned. It exposes the command and control issues resulting from senior officers in far away places trying to command and control operations for which they do not have situational awareness. If the commanders had only consulted the men on the ground, in the area of operations, who knew the situation, Roberts Ridge would never have occurred and all those who died trying to save Roberts could have been spared. Great story of heroism on the part of the special operations forces but also an equally great story of the failure of several command and control headquarters to do their jobs.
I really wanted to like this book as those who fought there did so with great courage and skill and made such incredible sacrifices. However, I felt the author let them down in two primary areas-a lack of background for the original insertion decision and the decisions made from afar during the fight.I was also disappointed with the very limited indexing. There are also some critical inconsistencies in the book.The Seals came to the area looking for a mission on very short notice. It was apparently not their decision, but from far up the food chain and thousands of miles away in a flat land. There was a failure to appreciate the need to adapt to the altitude.Control of Takur Ghar was not seen as essential in the plan for the operation prior to the arrival of the Seals. However, the author appears to start with the premise that control was essential, but in the end accepts the view that it was not essential.The decision imposed on the Seals to make a direct aerial assault on the position after experiencing delays, rather than delay 24 hours, was an imposition from above. One of the grave risks of the new information age is that those (both military officers and politicians) receiving satellite, UAV data and perhaps battlefield video will abandon their roles of strategic planning and information dissemination in favor of making tactical decisions without situational awareness. It's a recipe for disaster.There's a reason that a great football coach is down on the field while the spotters and perhaps those who recommend plays are high above the stadium.In some respects the limitations of the book are a reflection of that lack of shared information and situational awareness which plagued the fighters during the events. According to Blaber (The Men, The Mission and Me) he was in contact with the Seal team during their fight and also in contact with the AC-130. This account treats Blaber as being out of contact which appears most unlikely given his role in the overall operation. He was uniquely qualified to provide the Rangers with much needed situational awareness.Overall it is a worthwhile read but I recommend reading three other books Not A Good Day To Die , The Mission, The Men and Me , and First In to get a better perspective on the war in Afghanistan in 2001-02
Could not put this book down. What our military people have to endure is beyond belief. The military red tape and chain of command issuing orders when they don't know the facts on the ground is getting our warriors killed. Situations on the ground change by the minute and can get men killed when help does not arrive immediately. I regret that so many men died needlessly. This book is a tribute to our warrior heroes.
