OFFICIAL TIE-IN TO THE MAJOR MOTION PICTURE 12 STRONG, STARRING
CHRIS HEMSWORTH On September 11th, 2001 the world watched in
terror. On September 12th, 2001 they volunteered to fight. Twelve
soldiers gave us a reason to hope. THE DECLASSIFIED TRUE STORY OF
THE HORSE SOLDIERS. This is the dramatic account of a small band of
Special Forces soldiers who entered Afghanistan immediately
following September 11, 2001 and, riding to war on horses, defeated
the Taliban. Outnumbered 40 to 1, they capture the strategic Afghan
city of Mazar-e Sharif, and thereby effectively defeat the Taliban
throughout the rest of the country. They are welcomed as liberators
as they ride on horses into the city, the streets thronged with
Afghans overjoyed that the Taliban have been kicked out. The
soldiers rest easy, as they feel they have accomplished their
mission. And then, the action takes a wholly unexpected turn.
During a surrender of Taliban troops, the Horse Soldiers are
ambushed by the would-be P.O.W.s and, still dangerously
outnumbered, they must fight for their lives in the city's ancient
fortress known as Qala-I Janghi, or the House of War . . . Praise
for Doug Stanton:- 'A thrilling action ride of a book.' New York
Times 'As gripping as the most intricately-plotted thriller.' Vince
Flynn 'A riveting story of the brave and resourceful American
warriors who rode into Afghanistan after 9/11 and waged war against
Al Qaeda.' Tom Brokaw 'This reads like a cross between an
old-fashioned Western and a modern spy thriller.' Parade Magazine
'Spellbinding...action-packed prose. The book reads more like a
novel.' USA Today
