ometimes the toughest battle you fight is with yourself... Twotours of Iraq under his belt, Sergeant Dave Henley has seensomething of how modern battles are fought. But nothing can preparehim for the posting to Forward Operating Base Senzhiri, HelmandProvince, Afghanistan. This is a warzone like even he's never seenbefore.
He's in charge of 1 Platoon, a ragbag collection of rookies whohe must meld into a fighting force, and fast. The Afghanistanconflict is as harsh and unforgiving as the country itself. Theirconvoy is ambushed before they even reach the FOB, and two of hismen are grievously wounded, one scorched beyond recognition, theother left with only one leg.
