Summary:
The heartbreaking and inspiring story of 1 of America’s deadliest fights through the war in Afghanistan, acclaimed by critics everywhere being a classic.
*Soon to be a major film from Millennium Films*
At 5:58 AM on Oct 3rd, 2009, Fight Outpost Keating, located in frighteningly susceptible terrain in Afghanistan just 14 miles in the Pakistani border, was viciously attacked. Though the 53 Americans generally there prevailed against almost 400 Taliban fighters, their casualties made it the deadliest battle of the battle for the U.S. that 12 months. Four months following the fight, a Pentagon review exposed that there is no reason behind the troops at Keating to have already been there to begin with.
In THE OUTPOST, Jake Tapper gives us the effective saga of COP Keating, from its establishment to eventual destruction, introducing us to an unforgettable cast of soldiers and their families, and to a location and war which has remained profoundly distant to most Americans. A runaway bestseller, it creates a savage war genuine, and American courage manifest.
