Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

Outlaw Platoon is a detailed and utterly gripping account of what our soldiers endure on the front lines…the on-the-ground realities of a war we so rarely witness.”  Tim O’Brien, author of The Things They Carried
“This is a story of genuine emotion and drama…but more important, one that shows us that the love and brotherhood forged in the fires of combat are the most formidable qualities a unit can possess.”  Steven Pressfield, author of Gates of Fire and The Warrior Ethos
“At times, I forgot I was reading about a war and was drawn up in the drama in the same way you can be when reading Krakauer’s Into Thin Air.”  Doug Stanton, author of Horse Soldiers
“An epic story as exacting as it is suspenseful.”  Clive Cussler
