Amazing how real he made the Northern Alliance and Taliban soliders, could see both groups as actual human beings fighting for their causes. Worth reading for a good story and to understand the truth behind what went on in that country just a few short years ago.

The author also was able to use what he learned to give readers a solid place to stand in viewing future events in the South Asian conflict. This guy can write. Reads like an adventure novel. I would recommend without reservation. I thought “Horse Soldiers” was well done in terms of historical content.

After reading that Roger's Rangers fought against the British in the Revolutionary War as opposed to fighting with the British against the French in the French and Indian War I was amazed at such a historical error. Claiming Special Forces committed the majority of attrocities in Vietnam is just false. The story is good, the writing mediocre, and the research horrible.

Horse Soldiers is the impressive story of the US Special Forces team sent into Afghanistan after 9/11 to capture Mazar-I-Sharif. So the first action against terrorists of the 21st century winds up conducted on horse back, more accurately a cavalry charge much like Mosby's raiders during the Civil War. There is action, pathos and even a bit of humor as a group of Special Forces men who had only, for the most part ridden horses in summer camp ride into battle. There was so much that was captivating, I found myself stopping to read passages out loud to my husband. <br />If I was still teaching current history this would be on the reading list, and I know it would be well received. I will be surprised to not see this book become a movie, its tale is gripping and fascinating. The men in this story will make you proud of our service men, their bravery, courage and at the same time you will be intrigued and awed by the skill and methods of our modern military. <br />As one who grew up in the army and have always been near those whose hearts and souls are given to protect us - this is a stunning account that reaches the best of a story teller's writing, except this is true and will make those who read it, aware of, and thankful for the skill and bravery that is written of in this book . <br /> I was given this book by a friend, so I looked at it and immediately – sat down, started reading and finished it almost one sitting.

Many of them had never before been on a horse. Really tough duty, especially on makeshift wooden saddles. The SF people are introduced by name, and you are given their bios, leading to the reader becoming intimate with all of them. A most interesting approach to telling the story. <br />I highly recommend this book.

Hadi Sun, 07 Nov 2010 03:35:23 +0000 http://www.afghanistanis.com/afghanistan-101.htm#comment-2590 This is one of those books that makes a lot of sense and gives you a great perspective in understanding afghan culture. The chapters are short and to the point. What makes it different from other texts is the fact that it basically compares west to Afghan culture. It does not put one or the other down, but the author simply points out the differences and at times, similarities. Though this book is geared towards educating Westerners, I recommend this book to Afghans as well.

His experience teaching Afghan language and culture to Peace Corps Volunteers, diplomats, and soldiers makes this book a fascinating read with illustrations that come alive to the reader. <br /> <br />It should be read by every policy maker, aid worker and soldier who is preparing to travel and live in Afghanistan. One cannot understand, assist, and positively influence Afghans without understanding their culture. <br /> <br />A native of Afghanistan, Dr. Entezar returned to his native country and continued his research over the past 30 years. <br /> <br />Highly recommended.

It helps you understand the real differences of US and Afghan culture and how these differences can be understood and bridged. <br /> <br />An important book which benefits from Entezar's long exposure to both cultures as a resident and teacher.
