U.S. Marines In Afghanistan, 2001-2002: From The Sea

Includes more than 100 maps, plans and illustrations.&quote;This monograph is more than the story of Marine expeditionary operations in Afghanistan. It describes who our nation's enemies are; how America became involved in the Global War on Terrorism; and how the Marine Corps struggled to acquire a major role in Operation Enduring Freedom, as well as the actions of Marines and sailors who helped prosecute the air and ground campaigns against Taliban and al-Qaeda forces.&quote;- Dr. Charles P. Neimeyer, Director of Marine Corps History
