Description

Jeffrey Axelson woke up on a June morning in 2005 to the headline 'Chopper Down: 8 Navy SEALs Killed'. The helicopter had been attempting the rescue of four SEALs on a mission to capture or kill a Taliban commander at the Pakistani border. One of those four was Jeffrey's brother, Matt, who was missing without a trace. Over the course of the next 12 days, Jeffrey discovered the heroic story of his brother's final hours. This book describes the dramatic unfolding of Operation Red Wing, in which four men faced off against a 200-strong Taliban force.
