Operation Pineapple Express

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

An edge-of-your-seat military memoir and true story about a group of retired Green Berets who come together to save a former comrade—and 500 other Afghans—targeted by the Taliban amid the chaos of America’s withdrawal from Afghanistan.

In April 2021, a Special Forces operator deployed abroad sends an urgent plea: Get Nezam out of Afghanistan now. Nezam, one of the first Afghan National Army commandos trained alongside US Special Forces, is receiving threatening messages from the Taliban. His former commander, retired Lt. Col. Scott Mann, activates Task Force Pineapple, connecting with fellow special operations veterans and allies to plan a high-risk rescue mission.

Operating from basements and garages, the team orchestrates an escape route into Taliban-controlled Kabul, working around enemy checkpoints and surging crowds to get Nezam through Kabul airport safely. When calls flood in from other veterans, interpreters, and at-risk civilians, the mission expands—and Task Force Pineapple rescues 500 more Afghans in three turbulent days before the deadly ISIS-K suicide bombing. Operation Pineapple Express is a thrilling account of heroism, service, and loyalty in the final days of the War on Terror.

Excellent true story of important acts of bravery

EVERY American should read this book about the US withdrawal from Afghanistan. The media was so misleading on what actually happened last year. This is a true story about some very brave people.

Excellent Telling of What Happened in Afghanistan

Best and most wholistic telling of events before, during, and after the US withdrawal from Afghanistan. Pulls no punches with where responsibility was passed off by “leadership” to junior staff and retired vets. Exposes our government’s ineptitude to a sickening level.

Hero’s

America’s finest stepping up when our corrupt American government failed us and the citizens of Afghanistan.

Every American needs to read

Yes, every American needs to read this to know what really happened in the horrible Biden administration pull out of Afghanistan.
To see what all these men faced. How many of our brave service men were betrayed by their top leaders.
To see how corrupt and inept our government has become. It needs fixing.

And it's a harrowing story of survival that educates and entertains too.

Amazing…thank you

Thank you for telling the story. Thank you to everyone involved for stepping up when our government stepped aside. Thank you for modeling leadership and promise keeping to all generations.
