the heroism aspect of the story

I feel this should be added to everyone's list of literary works to read. it is awareness that should be spread as far and wide as possible. We don't give enough credit to the man and woman who serve our country.

Excellent book!

Really enjoyed the podcast format of this book. The last part of the book that goes into the US withdrawal from Afghanistan is very compelling stuff, but I also enjoyed the story of the black mambas , a group of all women Rangers protecting South African wildlife from poachers.

Wow

What a great collection of important stories. I would love to hear more. I was very impressed with the last story regarding the efforts made by just a few to help those Afghans who risked their lives for the American military.

good listening

if you are tired of fiction this is a must. dramatic stories gently told, so inspiring. Interviews with the people involved a plus as they tell their stories in their own words

Definite Listen!

Informative, shocking, heart breaking, empathy, outrage, ans hope were the flood of emotions I was experiencing listening to these real life stories.
