Summary:
"On August 6, 2011--three months after members of Navy SEAL Team Six killed Osama Bin Laden--Taliban forces took down a US helicopter, call sign "Extortion 17." The attack killed the Air National Guard crew, seven unidentified members of the Afghan military, and seventeen members of Navy SEAL Team Six--warrior brothers from the same team that had killed Osama Bin Laden just ninety days prior. Don Brown re-creates the wartime action, tells the life stories of the elite warriors our nation lost that day, and tears apart the official military explanation of the incident contained in the infamous Colt Report"-- Provided by publisher.
