The Only Thing Worth Dying for: How Eleven Green Berets Fought for a New Afghanistan
On a moonless night just weeks after September 11, 2001, U.S. Special Forces Team ODA 574 infiltrated the mountains of southern Afghanistan. They had been entrusted with a seemingly impossible mission: foment a tribal revolt and force the Taliban to surrender. With little information about their enemy, the team had no choice but to trust their only ally, a little-known Pashtun statesman named Hamid Karzai.
In The Only Thing Worth Dying For, award-winning author Eric Blehm chronicles the most important mission in the early days of the War on Terror. With unprecedented access to surviving members of ODA 574, key war planners, and Karzai himself, Blehm presents a story of uncommon bravery and sacrifice that reveals the realities of unconventional warfare and nation-building in Afghanistan. Eric Blehm is the author of the bestselling book The Last Season. He lives in Southern California. "A skillfully reported and masterfully written account of one of the most crucial moments of the War Against Terror. Blehm reminds us of the perils, the triumphs and the sacrifices made in the name of freedom." -- Bob Woodruff, ABC News correspondent--W.E.B. Griffin & William E.
