The United States Army in Afghanistan Operation Enduring Freedom


Book Description

The United States Army in Afghanistan is a powerful story of the first military efforts to strike back at the terrorist organization al Qaeda in the aftermath of its 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Al Qaeda's leader, Osama bin Laden, believed he and his followers living and training under the protection of the Taliban regime in the far-off mountains of Afghanistan were beyond the reach of American arms. Richard W. Stewart in his penetrating essay on the early critical months of Operation ENDURING FREEDOM proves that bin Laden was wrong, chronicling how American, coalition, and allied Afghan units in a matter of months overthrew the Taliban regime and drove the al Qaeda into worldwide flight. His well-balanced story of American resolve, of danger and hardship, and of ultimate victory during the opening days of the Global War on Terrorism is worthy of study, providing critical perspective on how conventional and unconventional forces not only complemented each other's strengths but also compensated for each other's weaknesses.

USAMRIID's Medical Management of Biological Casualties Handbook 9th Edition


Book Description

This 9th edition has been revised and updated to better present our current understanding of the optimal medical management of diseases and syndromes caused by biological threat agents. Medical defense against the use of pathogens and toxins as battlefield weapons, or in terrorism, is an unfamiliar yet important subject to many military and civilian healthcare providers. The US military has pursued research relevant to the medical defense against biological threat agents (bio-agents) since World War II, first in concert with an offensive weapons program, then -- for the past 50 years -- as a purely defensive research program. However, the 2001 terrorist attacks on the US mainland, and subsequent anthrax mail attacks, emphasized to national and local political leaders, lawmakers, medical opinion makers, and the public at large, that the bio-agent threat was real and required much more planning, training, and resources for an effective response.
