A disputed account of Extortion 17

Don Brown, a former Navy JAG officer, examines the August 6, 2011 shoot-down of the helicopter known as Extortion 17, in which 30 U.S. personnel died, including 17 members of SEAL Team Six. The book centers on The Colt Report, an investigative document Brown says he possesses, and raises questions about the military investigation and the possibility of Taliban involvement from inside the operation. Its subject is both a deadly episode in the Afghanistan War and the contested interpretation of evidence surrounding it; the allegations are presented as claims, not settled conclusions.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in the Afghanistan War and U.S. military history.
  • Readers seeking an account focused on the Extortion 17 incident and its investigation.
  • Readers interested in disputed military investigations and allegations of insider involvement.

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.
