Not a Good Day to Die: The Untold Story of Operation Anaconda Free Audiobook Download by Sean Naylor
As an operations officer, Sean Naylor's job depended on him getting into and out of Afghanistan safely. Unfortunately for him, that was not the case when he was part of Operation Anaconda. A huge battle unfolded in March 2002 with an estimated 22,000 to 25,000 Taliban fighters attacking over 400 US military personnel. For six days and nights in what became known as "Hell Week," the soldiers fought off wave after wave of enemy combatants. Naylor had to make several split-second decisions during the assault including when it was time to get out of a building that was full of grenades and fighting going on all over the place. Over 290 Americans lost their lives during Operation Anaconda while only 27 enemy fighters were killed.
Operation Anaconda is a United States Army Special Forces operation to kill or capture the leader of the al-Qaeda cell called Khaldun. It also involved an elite team of Navy SEALs, air force pilots and Afghanistanis fighting in the Northern Alliance. At least six people died during the operation, but the leader of al-Qaeda was not killed and he's still alive today. The book gives a detailed account of what happened during this mission that ended in failure but still saved many lives in Afghanistan.
Operation Anaconda was a deadly battle that took place in Afghanistan. It was the operation where Navy SEALs rescued the remains of U.S. Sgt. 1st Class Mark "Laz" Clark, who had been shot and left on the battlefield by his unit. The outcome of Operation Anaconda is uncertain to this day as more than 30 Taliban fighters died and ten Americans lost their lives in the fighting.
Operation Anaconda was a battle that took place in Afghanistan on May 11th, 2002. The United States says it was the largest firefight of the war and involved more than two thousand American troops. The Pentagon says that it ended up killing Osama bin Laden--the man responsible for 9/11--and several others. But the military's own records show that bin Laden escaped unharmed, died years later from heart disease, and wasn't even present at the battle three days after Operation Anaconda.
On March 2, 2002, Operation Anaconda was executed in Afghanistan by the United States. This operation was planned to take down the last stronghold of the Taliban and had nothing to do with Osama Bin Laden. However, a civilian advisor to the U.S. military named Sean Naylor was there watching it happen as well. He documented his experience in this book which tells a gripping story of what really happened during an eight-hour battle that ended up costing over 300 American troops their lives.
