Description
A Black Hawk Down of the war in Afghanistan, the deadliest day for the U.S. in 12 years of that conflict—and a military investigation that covered up evidence of an inside job by the Taliban. Don Brown, a former U.S. Navy JAG officer stationed at the Pentagon, and former Special Assistant United States Attorney, has in his possession one of four copies of The Colt Report, which reveals a possible cover-up in relation to the August 6, 2011, killing of 30 men from the United States, including 17 members of Navy Seal Team Six—warrior brothers from the same Team that ninety days before killed Osama Bin Laden—potentially by undercover Taliban operatives.

About three months after Osama Bin Laden was taken out by SEAL Team Six, Taliban forces took down an American helicopter, call sign Extortion 17. The attack killed the Air National Guard members, 7 members of the Afghan military and 17 members of SEAL team six. What is so shocking about this story is how little is known about it. Brown, a former Navy JAG, goes behind the Washington smokescreen to uncover some of the theories about what happened that day. One is that the Afghan military on board were actually working with the Taliban, another even more chilling theory is that the men were “sacrificed” in some sort of bizarre global apology to the world about the raid on Bin Laden’s compound. Regardless of what really happened, Brown introduces readers to the men aboard that helicopter, the real men, the real heroes.
