Dakota Meyer Bing West in his audiobook "Into The Fire" gives an excellent account of the most extraordinary battle in the Afghan War. This is a must listen to audiobook for anyone who has any interest in the war, American heroics, or just wants to learn about this extraordinary event from a well-researched account written by one of the soldiers involved.

"Today I'm here to tell you the story of a battle. A battle that changed my life in ways I never imagined, but witnessing the heroism and tenacity of young men and women on both sides during one of America's longest wars made me more proud than ever," says Meyer as he starts his account. The audiobook is a first-hand account of the Battle of Ganjgal, where Meyer led an assault on an Al-Qaeda camp in Afghanistan.

This is not a story about the war in Afghanistan. This is the story of a soldier who risked his life to save countless others, and then became one of the most decorated soldiers in US history for it.

Dakota Meyer Bing West's Into the Fire: A Firsthand Account of the Most Extraordinary Battle in the Afghan War is a gripping account of one man's heroic efforts to rescue his fellow troops during an intense firefight in Afghanistan. In this audiobook, Dakota has taken us into his world with his self-deprecating humor and irreverent language. He offers a first hand account of what led up to this battle, how it unfolded, and what he went through for three days afterward as he searches for his fellow troops amid the treacherous terrain.

It was the deadliest battle of the Afghanistan war and it would become one of the most important battles. The Battle of Ganjgal took place on August 8, 2008. It is a story of how America's finest went up against well-armed, determined and ruthless enemies in a fight they hoped they could win but knew they could not lose. This is the story of how one platoon fought through hell to capture three Taliban leaders as some of them fought desperately to live another day.

U.S. Navy SEAL Dakota Meyer, who previously served four combat tours in Afghanistan, discusses his experience during the most difficult battle of the Afghan War: Operation Red Wings. Meyer led a force of 50 Special Operations Task Force soldiers (SEALs) and Marines into the most dangerous region of eastern Afghanistan while conducting operations with local Afghan military forces.
