Operation Medusa. The crucial battle of the war in Afghanistan
by Rusty Bradley (Author)
and Kevin Maurer (Author)
In 2006, the Taliban and their allies are preparing to reconquer the Kandahar province in the south of the country. A victory would mark a turning point capable of redrawing the borders of the Middle East. To stop them, the NATO coalition launches the largest offensive in its history: Operation Medusa. The clash is imminent and the mass exodus of civilians heralds the beginning of the carnage. Dispatched to support the main coalition attack, Captain Bradley watches as NATO forces are rapidly swallowed up by the Taliban counterattack. To counter the rout, the only hope is to capture a piece of land in an elevated position, allowing for effective air strikes. Bratley and his small detachment storm the hill, willing to do anything to give the NATO forces a crucial tactical advantage. In the midst of an extremely dangerous firefight, Bradley and his men face an impossible task...
Reader's notes:
