Not a Good Day to Die

About “Not a Good Day to Die”

In this New York Times bestseller, Sean Naylor recounts the events of March 2, 2002, when over 200 soldiers from the 101st Airborne and 10th Mountain Divisions launched an operation into the Shahikot Valley in Afghanistan. The book details the U.S. military's misjudgment of the enemy strength, the unpreparedness of the American forces, and the critical role played by thirteen American commandos in preventing a major military disaster during a fierce mountaintop firefight against Al Qaida fighters.
