Victory Point: Operations Red Wings and Whalers - the Marine Corps' Battle for Freedom in Afghanistan (ISBN=9780425232590) mobi 百度云 txt pdb 下载 lrf pdf 地址

　　In late June 2005, media sources recounted the tragic story of

nineteen U.S. special operations personnel who died at the hands of

insurgent / terrorist leader Ahmad Shah- and the lone survivor of

Shah's ambush-deep in the Hindu Kush Mountains of Afghanistan. The

harrowing events of Operation Red Wings marked an important-yet

widely misreported-chapter in the Global War on Terror, the full

details of which the public burned to learn.

Victory Point reveals the complete, as-yet untold, story

of Operation Red Wings (often mis-referenced as "Operation

Redwing"), and the follow-on mission, Operation Whalers. Together,

these two U.S. Marine Corps operations (that in the case of Red

Wings utilized Navy SEALs for its opening phase) unfurl not as a

mission gone terribly wrong, but of a complex and difficult

campaign that ultimately saw the demise of Ahmad Shan and his small

army of barbarous fighters.

Due to the valor, courage, and commitment of the 2nd Battalion of

the 3rd Marine Regiment in the summer of 2005, Afghanistan was able

to hold free elections that Fall. Here is the inspiring true

account of heroism, duty, and brotherhood between Marines fighting

the War on Terror.
