Army Major Rusty Bradley is just back from his fifth deployment there. And his assignments have been tough. At the very heart of the war effort.

Major Bradley is an Army Special Forces officer. These are the units that not only fight on their own but train Afghan soldiers to fight.

Major Bradley is still on active duty, but he's written a book on his front-line experience in Afghanistan, the war we're trying to finish.
