Title: Winning Paktika
Description: "This is the story of the 'Wolfhounds' in 2nd Platoon, Bravo Company through the eyes of a young platoon leader. He details their adventures on the front lines in a little-known dangerous place called Paktika Province, centrally located along Afghanistan's volatile border with Pakistan. It is the story of ordinary men, thrown into a treacherous and unfamiliar world with the mission to destroy the enemy's sanctuary, not just the enemy. It is the story of triumph and failure, elation and frustration through a hard-fought struggle with their identity as infantrymen, evolving from trained tactical killers to strategic nation builders in their quest to win Paktika." -- from back cover.
