In late June 2005, media sources recounted the tragic story of
nineteen U.S. special operations personnel who died at the hands of
insurgent terrorist leader Ahmad Shah- and the lone survivor of
Shah''s ambush-deep in the Hindu Kush Mountains of Afghanistan. The
harrowing events of Operation Red Wings marked an important-yet
widely misreported-chapter in the Global War on Terror, the full
details of which the public burned to learn.
Victory Point reveals the complete, as-yet untold, story
of Operation Red Wings often mis-referenced as "Operation
Redwing", and the follow-on mission, Operation Whalers. Together,
these two U.S. Marine Corps operations that in the case of Red
Wings utilized Navy SEALs for its opening phase unfurl not as a
mission gone terribly wrong, but of a complex and difficult
campaign that ultimately saw the demise of Ahmad Shan and his small
army of barbarous fighters.
Due to the valor, courage, and commitment of the 2nd Battalion of
the 3rd Marine Regiment in the summer of 2005, Afghanistan was able
to hold free elections that Fall. Here is the inspiring true
account of heroism, duty, and brotherhood between Marines fighting
the War on Terror.
