Great Reads > Horse Soldiers by Doug Stanton

America’s first response to 9/11 involved an astonishingly small group of men. They were members of the highest trained and most covert branch of our military. They were Special Forces. With virtually no support, these men trained and mobilized the contingent of Afghan resistance fighters that would ultimately force the Taliban from power. Doug Stanton’s pulse quickening book shows us what happens when the modern soldier is force to fight a near medieval enemy; they become the “Horse Soldiers.”
