The Outpost
Summary
At 6:00 a.m. on the morning of October 3, 2009, Combat Outpost Keating was viciously attacked by Taliban insurgents. The 53 U.S. troops, having been stationed at the bottom of three steep mountains, were severely outmanned by nearly 400 Taliban fighters. Though the Americans ultimately prevailed, their casualties made it one of the war's deadliest battles for U.S. forces. And after more than three years in that dangerous and vulnerable valley a mere 14 miles from the Pakistan border, the U.S. abandoned and bombed the camp. A Pentagon investigation later concluded that there was no reason for Outpost Keating to have been there in the first place. The Outpost is a tour de force of investigative journalism. Jake Tapper exposes the origins of this tragic and confounding story, exploring the history of the camp and detailing the stories of soldiers heroic and doomed, shadowed by the recklessness of their commanders in Washington, D.C., and a war built on constantly shifting sands.

Puesto Fronterizo [Border Post]
Summary
A las 5:58 am del 3 de octubre de 2009, a justo 14 millas de distancia de la frontera con Pakistán, fue despiadadamente atacado el Puesto de Combate Keating, ubicado en un aterradoramente vulnerable terreno en Afganistán. A pesar de que 53 norteamericanos hicieron frente a casi 400 guerrilleros del Taliban, sus muertes convirtieron esta batalla en la más sangrienta y fatal de la guerra para los Estados Unidos en ese año. Cuatro meses después de la batalla, una revisión del Pentágono reveló que no existía razón alguna para que las tropas en Keating se hubieran encontrado allí. En Puesto Fronterizo (The Outpost), Jake Tapper ofrece una poderosa descripción de la saga el Puesto de Combate Keating, desde su establecimiento hasta su eventual destrucción, introduciendo un reparto inolvidable de soldados y sus familias, un lugar y una guerra que siguen siendo profundamente lejanos para la mayoría de los norteamericanos. Un galopante bestseller, otorga realidad a una guerra salvaje y pone de manifiesto el valor norteamericano. Please note: This audiobook is in Spanish.
