Recounts the harrowing experiences of the 1-320th Field Artillery "Top Guns" Battalion as they navigated the challenges of serving as provisional infantrymen in the hostile Arghandab Valley during 2010-2011.

Sons of the Arghandab tells the story of the 1-320th Field Artillery "Top Guns" Battalion, 101st Airborne, in the Arghandab Valley, 2010-2011.

The Arghandab River Valley is known for its lush vegetation from its grape furrows and its pomegranate orchards. It's also known as the birthplace of several Taliban leaders such as Mullah Omar and Akhtar Mohammad Mansour, and was a major crossing route for weapons coming from Pakistan into Kandahar. This hostile environment had already claimed the lives of many seasoned infantrymen. But the Top Guns weren't infantrymen, they were artillerymen, deployed without their usual weapons and with minimal last-minute training, redesignated as "provisional infantrymen." Painstakingly researched by one of the Top Guns and told through the perspectives of the men who survived that terrible year, this is the harrowing story of Alpha, HHB, and Bravo Batteries as they undertook the challenges of an artillery unit charged with an infantry mission in the most hostile killing fields in Afghanistan.

This is so well written, I found myself Unexpectedly emotional and unable to not finish it. it's rare that I fully finish an audio book so quickly.

An actual human POV of war and the fight that ensues long after it's "over"

This is a story worth telling just like the big battles in wars past. Many Americans know about the big battles in RC East against AQ but after 2007 the Taliban had regrouped and the orchards of RC South saw some of the heaviest fighting of the entire war. Joseph does a great job in bringing perspective to what those soldiers went through and is a must read for anyone interested in the war in Afghanistan

Amazing firsthand account of one of the biggest battles of the war
