Faith Middleton Show: The Secret Mission Of A Green Beret Team Dropped In Afghanistan

The first time story of the Green Beret Team dropped secretly into enemy territory in Afghanistan.

The Only Thing Worth Dying For chronicles the most important mission in the early days of the Global War on Terror, when the men on the ground knew little about the enemy and their commanders in Washington knew even less.  With eyewitness accounts and testimony from surviving members of ODA 574, Special Operations soldiers and airmen, Key war planners and Hamid Karzai, author Eric Blehm cuts through the noise of politicians and high-level military officials to narrate this first time story of uncommon bravery and terrible sacrifice, intimately exposing the realities of unconventional warfare and nation-building in Afghanistan that continue to shape the region today.
