The war testimonies in the first person are that reality that surpass all fiction raised to the nth power.

The still recent intervention in Iraq and Afghanistan, beyond its greater or lesser political adjustment, its convenience, its ethics or its international legality, gave itself to war scenarios that although they are far from the massive hand-to-hand battles of the XNUMXth century backwards, they continue to confront the human against symmetrical hatred and fear, against the particular sensation of the fragility of life ...

A sum of sensations only surpassed by learned values ​​such as honor and companionship, positive values ​​that, although they always turn towards one of the two fighting parties, at least show some humanity and respect for the lives of others.

In this book The Red SquadClinton Romesha tells us about the days in October 2009 when her Red Platoon section faced 300 Taliban armed to the teeth.

Romesha and his men were isolated at a border checkpoint. The battle lasted 12 hours. The American soldiers were victorious. This book tells us how they did it and at what price.
