Review Quotes: Operation Pineapple Express is a true story that reads like a thriller-and along the way proves that guts and resourcefulness and honor did not vanish with America's "Greatest Generation." From one of my favorite writers, retired Green Beret Scott Mann, this tale of Yanks putting it all on the line for their former Afghan comrades is a must-read for all of us in today's polarized U.S.A. -Steven Pressfield, best-selling author of Gates of Fire and The War of Art
