Really enjoyed the podcast format of this book. The last part of the book that goes into the US withdrawal from Afghanistan is very compelling stuff, but I also enjoyed the story of the black mambas , a group of all women Rangers protecting South African wildlife from poachers.

Excellent book!

all stories were compelling with fantastic bgm but somehow the story of the young diplomat was for me the most affecting for me. what a story and so much heartbreak. you can hear how the military feels about the politicians' decisions.

compelling, educational, moving and inspiring

I feel this should be added to everyone's list of literary works to read. it is awareness that should be spread as far and wide as possible. We don't give enough credit to the man and woman who serve our country.

What a great collection of important stories. I would love to hear more. I was very impressed with the last story regarding the efforts made by just a few to help those Afghans who risked their lives for the American military.

Wow

if you are tired of fiction this is a must. dramatic stories gently told, so inspiring. Interviews with the people involved a plus as they tell their stories in their own words

good listening
