In 2021 the United States was planning on leaving Afghanistan and as it was happening the Taliban became stronger and more dangerous and the former Afghan government began to collapse. As the collapse happened those Afghans who had helped the US government were in grievous danger.

When Nezam a former member of the Afghan National Army who had trained in the United States reached out to his former commanding officer, Lt. Col. Scott Mann, Mann worked to get him out of Afghanistan.

When this operation was successful, the many people in the US who were involved decided to continue working together to get as many endangered people out of Afghanistan as possible.

This is an amazing and nail-biting story. There were so many people involved and it reads like a thriller. Mann has thankfully provided a list of characters, but even so it was a bit difficult to keep them all straight.

The story was told chronologically, but I could imagine it told as individual stories as well.

If you have been at all interested in finding out more about the exit from Afghanistan this is a good book to start with.
