Opis

The narrative focuses on a platoon of 23 marines, many of them veterans of Afghanistan, whose elite reconnaissance unit spearheaded the blitzkrieg on Iraq. This is the story of young men who have been trained to become ruthless killers. It's about surviving death. It's also about a war many questioned before it even began.
