In a harrowing mix of a suicide rescue mission and a mountain battle, Jimmy and his team face a fierce firefight. When their helicopter is hit and starts leaking fuel, he finds himself in a dire situation, forced to leave teammates behind. Determined to rescue his brothers, Jimmy risks everything to rejoin the fight. This explosive memoir captures his journey from humble beginnings to becoming an American hero, filled with death-defying training, daring rescues, and fierce battles against the Taliban and Al Qaeda.
