None Left Behind

None Left Behind

The 10th Mountain Division is the U.S. Army’s most deployed unit. Inevitably, the War on Terror has drawn it to Afghanistan and Iraq. To Lieutenant Colonel Mike Infanti’s unit fell the pacification of a hellish hotbed of terrorism dubbed “The Triangle of Death.” In None Left Behind, decorated Vietnam veteran and acclaimed author Charles W. Sasser takes us to The Triangle to tell the gripping story of a deadly ambush, kidnapped soldiers and the men who wouldn’t leave their comrades behind.

Colonel Infanti assigned Delta Company to the most dangerous sector of The Triangle, a five-mile stretch of road that paralleled the Euphrates River in a series of blind s-curves where death stalked the Americans day and night. In the predawn of May 12, 2007, two humvees occupied by seven soldiers and an Iraqi translator were ambushed by insurgents. When the smoke cleared, four soldiers and the translator were dead and three were missing. For over a year, Delta searched for the missing soldiers, never giving up hope. What they discovered insured nobody in Delta would be the same again. But their creed of battle—None Left Behind—would become a mantra that drove them to find their comrades…at all costs.
