At 5:58 AM on October 3rd, 2009, Combat Outpost Keating, located in
frighteningly vulnerable terrain in Afghanistan just 14 miles from
the Pakistani border, was viciously attacked. Though the 53
Americans there prevailed against nearly 400 Taliban fighters,
their casualties made it the deadliest fight of the war for the
U.S. that year. Four months after the battle, a Pentagon review
revealed that there was no reason for the troops at Keating to have
been there in the first place. In THE OUTPOST, Jake Tapper gives us
the powerful saga of COP Keating, from its establishment to
eventual destruction, introducing us to an unforgettable cast of
soldiers and their families, and to a place and war that has
remained profoundly distant to most Americans. A runaway
bestseller, it makes a savage war real, and American courage
manifest.
