Into The Fire is a book that was written by Dakota Meyer. In it, he describes how a group of Afghan soldiers were brutally ambushed by insurgents of the Taliban in the autumn of 2009. Meyer defied orders to stay with the vehicles, and instead led a series of attacks and rescued as many as he could. This is one of the many Afghanistan war books that goes beyond the soldier's time at war.

Outlaw Platoon is a book that is action-packed so it keeps the reader interested, and every scene is full of emotion. Sean Parnell wrote this book about a very difficult battle in the Hindu Kesh, a deadly area in the Afghan mountains. The 10th Mountain Division had to fight for their lives almost constantly for sixteen straight months.

Pat Tillman is someone who many people know as a legend, but there is a much more human story behind the legend that is there to be told. That is what Jon Krakauer wrote about in Where Men Win Glory, which goes beyond Pat throwing away an NFL contract to be in the Army. He died in combat, but his story will live on.

As a New York Times foreign correspondent, Dexter Filkins saw a lot of things over the course of his career that filled in a detailed perspective of the conflict in this country. He witnessed the Taliban's rise, 9/11, the Afghan wars, and he also saw and reported on Iraq. He put all of his experience into the book The Forever War, which has a wealth of information and memorable stories.

Ghost Wars is a book that was written by Steve Coll, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist. His novel goes into the covert wars that were taking place in this country which may have caused the rise of militancy that was seen amongst the Islamic people. His book explores the reasons why September 11th happened, pointing to these covert affairs, and questioning why bin Laden avoided being captured for so long.

There are not many stories as desperate and bloody as the Chosen Few by Greg Zoroya. This is the tale of a group of paratroopers who found themselves in a much different fight than they expected. Instead of winning over some mountain people and exploring the wilderness, they were fighting for their lives with no way of escaping.

For a controversial tale that not everyone will want to see, Dog Company is a book that has many negative claims about how the Army treats their own soldiers. This book was written by Lynn Vincent and Captain Roger Hill, and they both believe that spies and enemy soldiers are treated better than their own. Captain Hill describes a time that he had to defy orders just to prevent his friends from being killed.

Major Rusty Bradley and Kevin Maurer got together to write Lions of Kandahar to tell a story that is both authentic and straight from the source, as well as easy to read and understand. There was a time when the southern Afghan regions were starting to fall under control, and it seemed that the only thing that stood in their way was the Kandahar Province. With the help of Operation Medusa, this was prevented.
