This shared episode of Big Blend Radio's WAY BACK WHEN History Podcast features award-winning military journalist, author, and documentary filmmaker Jeanne McKinney, who discusses her new book, "Triumph Over the Taliban: The Untold Story of US Marines’ Courageous Fight to Save Camp Bastion." Award-winning military history author and historian Mike Guardia joins in on the discussion.
Three days after the September 11, 2012, attack on the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, another attack occurred on a massive forward operating base called Camp Bastion in Helmand Province, Afghanistan, home to U.S. and U.K. expeditionary forces.
With keen investigative prowess, McKinney reveals the true story of what happened at Camp Bastion on that fateful night. After 10 years of research about this battle, McKinney paints a vivid picture of this gripping saga, sharing intimate life and death moments of fighting the Taliban on the Marines’ home turf — showcasing how Marines saved civilian contractors, each other, and over $5 billion in aircraft and equipment.
