Summary

This is the true, dramatic account of a small band of Special Forces soldiers who entered Afghanistan immediately following 9/11 and, riding to war on horses, defeated the Taliban. Outnumbered 40 to 1, they capture the strategic Afghan city of Mazar-e Sharif and thereby effectively defeat the Taliban throughout the rest of the country.
