In the wake of September 11th, American forces launched a campaign that combined covert action, diplomatic sleight-of-hand, deadly accurate new weapons and sheer brute force in a way the world has never seen.
The war on terror came as a surprise to no one. But the collapse of the Taliban and their Al Qaeda allies in Afghanistan came more swiftly than anyone could have imagined.
In WINGS OVER AFGHANISTAN, we focus on the way this first phase of the war on terror was fought, the pilots and planes that flew into action, and the Special Forces teams that jumped deep into hostile territory to illuminate enemy targets for destruction...
By story's end, we learn more about the lethal new technologies that pinpointed enemy positions to such devastating effect; about the brutal, low tech reality faced by the men on the ground; and learn whether "Operation Enduring Freedom" was as revolutionary as Pentagon technocrats claim.
