520 In combat, men measure up. Or don't. There are no second
chances. In this vivid account of the U.S. Army's
legendary 10th Mountain Division's heroic stand in the
mountains of Afghanistan, Captain Sean Parnell shares an
action-packed and highly emotional true story of triumph,
tragedy, and the extraordinary bonds forged in battle. At
twenty-four years of age, U.S. Army Ranger Sean Parnell
was named commander of a forty-man elite infantry platoon-
a unit that came to be known as the Outlaws-and was tasked
with rooting out Pakistan-based insurgents from a mountain
valley along Afghanistan's eastern frontier. Parnell and
his men assumed they would be facing a ragtag bunch of
civilians, but in May 2006 what started out as a routine
patrol through the lower mountains of the Hindu Kush
became a brutal ambush. Barely surviving the attack,
Parnell's men now realized that they faced the most
professional and seasoned force of light infantry the U.S.
Army had encountered since the end of World War II. What
followed was sixteen months of close combat, over the
course of which the platoon became Parnell's family: from
Staff Sergeant Greg Greeson, the wise, chain-smoking
veteran who never lost his cool; to Specialist Robert
Pinholt, a buttoned-down conservative with the heart of a
warrior and the mind of an economist; to Staff Sergeant
Phil Baldwin, the platoon's voice of calm and reason, a
man who sacrificed everything following the events of 9/11
-career, home, financial stability-to serve his country.
But the cost of battle was high for these men: Over 80
percent were wounded in action, putting their casualty
rate among the highest since Gettysburg, and not all of
them made it home. A searing and unforgettable story of
friendship in battle, Outlaw Platoon brings to life the
intensity and raw emotion of those sixteen months, showing
how the fight reshaped the lives of Parnell and his men
and how the love and faith they found in one another
ultimately kept them alive.
