In The New York Times bestseller Level Zero Heroes, Michael Golembesky follows the members of US Marine Special Operations Team 8222 on their assignment to the remote and isolated Taliban stronghold, Bala Murghab. What started out as a routine mission changed when two 82nd Airborne Paratroopers tragically drowned in the Bala Murghab River while trying to retrieve vital supplies from an air drop gone wrong. In that moment, the purpose of the friendly forces at Forward Operating Base Todd was forever altered as a massive clearing operation was initiated to break the Taliban's stranglehold on the valley and recover the bodies. From close-quarters firefights in Afghan villages to capturing key-terrain from the Taliban in the unforgiving Afghan winter, this intense and personal story depicts the brave actions and sacrifices of MSOT 8222.
Staff Sergeant Michael Golembesky served 8 years with the United States Marine Corps and is a combat veteran of the Afghanistan and Iraq Wars. Golembesky served as a Joint Terminal Attack Controller with Marine Special Operation Team 8222 (MARSOC). He lives in Colorado Springs, CO.
John R Bruning is the author or collaborating writer on sixteen non-fiction books, including the bestseller Outlaw Platoon.
