Overview

In 2010, during the Afghan surge, Marjah was spoken of like a turning point. For the Marines of 1st Battalion, 6th Marines, it wasn't a headline. It was intersections and canal lines, patrols and night watches, and a mission that demanded patience more than glory. It was the grind of holding ground that didn't want to be held, where the enemy used the terrain, the civilians, and the weight of routine to stretch every day into the next. Daniel Puckett returns to Helmand Province for a second combat deployment. No longer the young SAW gunner he was in Garmsir, he is now a fire team leader carrying responsibility for Marines learning the war the only way anyone ever does: one decision at a time, under pressure, with no clean view of the whole fight. Written in a blunt, ground level voice, Stand Fast in Marjah is a Marine infantry memoir about endurance, leadership, and what constant combat takes from the men who keep showing up anyway. This is the second book in the series, following Live Free in Garmsir.
