Sean Parnell is an Army Ranger, combat infantryman with the elite 10th Mountain Division, and veteran of 485 days of fierce fighting along the Afghan-Pakistan border, Captain Sean Parnell's unique leadership skills welded his platoon into one of the most fierce and effective American fighting units in modern military history. Outnumbered and outgunned Sean's "Outlaws" battled furiously in the most rugged terrain on the planetthe towering Hindu Kush Mountains. Eighty-five percent of his platoon received Purple Hearts. Outlaw Platoon killed over 350 enemy fighters in some of the biggest firefights of the Afghan War. He lead his men against Taliban, Haqqanni and Al Qaida fighters. His platoon was attacked by uniformed members of the Pakistani military on the Afghanistan side of the border. In January, 2007, a Pakistani frontier corps force joined an Al Qaida-led mass assault on Sean's platoon. The battle created an incident and led directly to a confrontation between U.S. State Department officials and the Pakistan government. Sean was wounded in action on June 10, 2006 when his platoon was nearly overrun by a force that outnumbered them almost ten to one. Sean repeatedly returned to his feet to lead his men again. His selfless example prompted one of his Soldiers to remark later, "Sean Parnell saved us all." His dedication to his men came at great personal cost: when he returned home following the 06 deployment, his wounds forced him from the Army and he was medically discharged. A riveting story of American fighting men, Outlaw Platoon is Lieutenant Sean Parnell's stunning personal account of the legendary U.S. Army's 10th Mountain Division's heroic stand in the mountains of Afghanistan. Acclaimed for its vivid, poignant, and honest recreation of sixteen brutal months of nearly continuous battle in the deadly Hindu Kesh, Outlaw Platoon is a Band of Brothers or We Were Soldiers Once and Young for the early 21st centuryan action-packed, highly emotional true story of enormous sacrifice and bravery. A magnificent account of heroes, renegades, infidels, and brothers, it stands with Sebastian Junger's War as one of the most important books to yet emerge from the heat, smoke, and fire of America's War in Afghanistan. Since leaving the Army, Sean is a regular contributor on Fox News and has appeared on dozens of national TV and radio shows, including CNN's Up Front with Erin Burnett, MSNBC's Dylan Ratigan Show, PBS's Tavis Smiley Show, Fox News Live, Fox and Friends, The Laura Ingraham Show, The Savage Hour with Michael Savage, Rusty Humphries and Fox News Radio's Kilmeade and Friends. Articulate, down to earth and engaging, Sean's leadership abilities have been called the, "gold bar standard of the post-911 Army." He is a subject matter expert on Afghanistan, the insurgency we face there, leadership and how to use it to inspire and motivate men and women to achieve common objectives.
