Publisher Description
From award-winning journalist and combat veteran Michael Hirsh comes the thrilling inside story of the Air Force’s pararescue operations in Afghanistan.
The first journalist to be embedded with an Air Force combat unit in the War on Terrorism, Hirsh flew from Moody Air Force Base, Georgia, with the 71st Rescue Squadron to their expeditionary headquarters at a secret location in Central Asia. Unparalleled access to the PJs, as well as to the courageous men and women who fly them where they have to go, often under enemy fire, allowed Hirsh to uncover incredible stories of courage.

None Braver
Very good book detailing what it takes to be a PJ and acknowledging sacrifices up to and including ultimate sacrifice “So That Others May Live”.
Thanks Mr. Harsh
As a former MC-130 pilot with the 9th SOS, and friend of many of your main characters in None Braver, I applaud your efforts. Your book brought the memories cascading back. I laughed out loud and cried quietly while reading it. I started in HC-130 "King birds" when the 71st ARRS was still located in Alaska. I was lucky enough to call many PJs my friends and could not agree more they are beyond a special breed. Thanks for telling some of their story and also of the aircrews. My special ops days are long gone, but, there are those out there doing the job tonight, and every night. Anytime, Anyplace.
Thanks again, Greg Bentley

A telling story of how USAF clear thinking enlisted personnel must deal with and overcome the ineptness of U.S.Army officers in combat just so "That others may live".
