AlbakiReads Editorial

A contested account of Extortion 17

Don Brown’s account centers on the August 6, 2011 shoot-down of a helicopter in Afghanistan and the deaths of 30 U.S. personnel, including 17 members of Navy SEAL Team Six. The description frames the book around questions raised by a military investigation and the contents of a report Brown says he possesses. It presents the possibility of an insider operation by Taliban operatives as a contested claim, not a settled finding. The book is situated within the history of the Afghan War and examines the incident alongside the wider debate over how it was investigated.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in the military history of the Afghan War.
  • Readers seeking a book focused on the Extortion 17 incident and its investigation.
  • Readers interested in accounts that raise questions about official military inquiries.

Book overview

The basis of the provocative hit military documentary Fallen Angel Call Sign: Extortion 17.

 

A Black Hawk Down of the war in Afghanistan, the deadliest day for the U.S. in 12 years of that conflict--and a military investigation that covered up evidence of an inside job by the Taliban. Don Brown, a former U.S. Navy JAG officer stationed at the Pentagon, and former Special Assistant United States Attorney, has in his possession one of four copies of The Colt Report, which reveals a possible cover-up in relation to the August 6, 2011, killing of 30 men from the United States, including 17 members of Navy Seal Team Six--warrior brothers from the same Team that ninety days before killed Osama Bin Laden--potentially by undercover Taliban operatives.
