Description

A riveting story of American fighting men, Outlaw Platoon is Lieutenant Sean Parnell’s stunning personal account of the legendary U.S. Army’s 10th Mountain Division’s heroic stand in the mountains of Afghanistan.

Acclaimed for its vivid, poignant, and honest recreation of sixteen brutal months of nearly continuous battle in the deadly Hindu Kesh, Outlaw Platoon is a Band of Brothers or We Were Soldiers Once and Young for the early 21st century—an action-packed, highly emotional true story of enormous sacrifice and bravery.

A magnificent account of heroes, renegades, infidels, and brothers, it stands with Sebastian Junger’s War as one of the most important books to yet emerge from the heat, smoke, and fire of America’s War in Afghanistan.

    I was a USAF fighter pilot during the Cold War. I joke that I wasn’t in the military I was in the Air Force. Men and women on the pointy end have earned some get out of jail free cards and patience and forgiveness from everyone that wasn’t. Sean Parnell has helped me begin to see the lower right corner. His journey to becoming a servant leader is truly inspiring and a great template for anyone wanting to lead. I enjoy his fiction but his history with Outlaw company will make me a better leader, friend, and human. Thank you.

  • War, honor, sacrifice & Brother’s bonded by love for each other.

    A gripping account of the war in Afghanistan brought on by the terrorist attack on 9/11 that killed over 2,000 innocent Americans.

    I read nightly to help me fall asleep and I solely read about war, mainly conflict in the Middle East, as its an incredible weight that soldiers who have been in combat carry for the rest of their lives. This book will be the reason I re-up to give and serves as these men did. I’m a far better soldier and leader after reading this thank you.
