In a remote, enemy-held valley in Afghanistan, a Special Forces
team planned to scale a steep mountain to surprise and capture a
terrorist leader. But before they found the target, the target
found them...
The team was caught in a deadly ambush that not only threatened
their lives, but the entire mission. The elite soldiers fought
huddled for hours on a small rock ledge as rocket-propelled
grenades and heavy machine-gun fire rained down on them. With total
disregard for their own safety, they tended to their wounded and
kept fighting to stay alive. When the battle finally ended, ten
soldiers had earned Silver Stars--the Army's third highest award
for combat valor. It was the most Silver Stars awarded to any unit
in one battle since Vietnam.
Based on dozens of interviews with those who were there, "No Way
Out "is a compelling narrative of an epic battle that not only
tested the soldiers' mettle but serves as a cautionary tale. Be
careful what you ask a soldier to do because they will die trying
to accomplish their mission.
