Snapper Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Just finished a paperback called Roberts Ridge by Malcolm MacPherson. This potboiler tells the tale of a battle in Afghanistan in 2001 involving US Navy SEALS, Army Rangers and Air Force spec ops chappies against Al Qaeda. The yanks had eight killed fighting high up on a very grim mountain called Takur Ghar. This is a good book, despite having the element of an airport departure lounge special about it. The writer is not gung ho and nor are the subjects. You really feel for the people involved. It shows the US forces at their very best and is worthy of a space on your bookshelves.
