Roughneck Nine-One

This Iraq War memoir shares "e;a gritty inside look at a Special Forces team at war"e; and how the author's outgunned Green Berets won a dramatic battle (Publishers Weekly). On April 6th, 2003, twenty-six Green Berets, including those of Sergeant 1st Class Frank Antenori's Special Forces A-team (call sign Roughneck Nine-One), confronted a vastly superior force including battle tanks and more than 150 well-trained and well-equipped soldiers at a remote crossroads near the small village of Debecka, Iraq. Along the way, they endured a US Navy F-14 dropping a 500-pound bomb on supporting Kurdish Peshmerga fighters, the ever-present threat of WMDs, and countless other deadly obstacles. This is the never-before-told, no-holds-barred story of how one Special Forces A-team recruited and organized, trained and eventually fought and won a legendary conflict that will influence American military doctrine for years to come.
