Horse Soldiers: The Extraordinary Story of a Band of U.S. Soldiers Who Rode to Victory in Afghanistan
Author Douglas Stanton
Author Douglas Stanton will review the heroic actions taken by the 5th Special Forces Group Operational Detachment Alpha 595 to liberate a region in Afghanistan from the Taliban without tanks or trucks, but by only using horses. This book became the inspiration for the major motion picture “12 Strong” by Jerry Bruckheimer, starring Chris Hemsworth and Michael Shannon.
Mr. Stanton will provide the historical context of the book and inform the audience of leadership techniques used by these Special Forces that can be applied to your everyday decision-making to improve performance.
Mr. Stanton will also discuss the New Chapter in his book, "Visiting The Story 20 Years Later: What did we win, what did we lose, and what did it cost?". Additional details can be found at this link: http://dougstanton.com/horse-soldiers-doug-stanton/
