In late 2005, the total casualties in Afghanistan were just barely
over one hundred; meanwhile, the news agencies were publicizing,
each day, the thousands of American soldiers who were dying in
Iraq. There was rarely any mention at all of the conflict going on
in Afghanistan. Little did Daniel Flores know that one year later
he would be witness to the Taliban resurgence and lose some of his
friends in the war. He was locked in a battle for his life against
a determined enemy, in one of the most notorious and highly
contested valleys in the Hindu Kush, in his Apache gunship-without
bullets. "South of Heaven" is the searing memoir of Flores's
year-long tour of duty in Afghanistan. One of his missions was
featured in a segment on the Military Channel's "My War Diary"
program. The segment was based on the rescue of an American Convoy
in the Tagab Valley in Afghanistan. The video and audio footage of
the actual battle that he shot with his own equipment was used in
the production. The final week of his rotation in-country was a
true test of his faith and his daughter's faith that he would
return home unharmed.
