General Note
"One Marine's fight for the heart of Afghanistan"-- cover.
Description
Lapis Lazuli is a semiprecious gemstone found deep in the Sar-i-sang mountains of Afghanistan's remote Badakhshan province. For thousands of years, it has sustained the nearby mining villages, whose inhabitants lived peacefully in the mountainous landscape--until the Taliban, known to the denizens of the region as the Horsemen, came seeking riches stored deep beneath the earth. Taliban rule has turned the stone into a conflict mineral, as they steal and sell it for their own gain. At the behest of the fledgling Afghan government, seeking to wrest back control of the province, United States Marines are sent into the mountains. A platoon led by their eager and naive commander, First Lieutenant Roberts, and a stoic, fierce squad leader, Sergeant King, must overcome barriers of language and culture in this remote region to win the locals' trust, and their freedom from Taliban rule. A sweeping yet intimate story about the personal cost of war, human connection, and the remnants of colonialism, Battle Born: Lapis Lazuli is an epic saga from the voice of a new generation of military veterans."-- cover page 4.
