About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of U.S. Marines In Afghanistan, 2001-2002: From the Sea by Nathan S. Lowrey. Read in English by Aaron Bennett. This monograph is more than the story of Marine expeditionary operations in Afghanistan. It describes who our nation's enemies are; how America became involved in the Global War on Terrorism; and how the Marine Corps struggled to acquire a major role in Operation Enduring Freedom, as well as the actions of Marines and sailors who helped prosecute the air and ground campaigns against Taliban and al-Qaeda forces. - Summary by Charles P. Neimeyer
