IT'S ODD, I SUPPOSE, THAT WHEN I THINK BACK OVER that h appened in that terrible time, one of my sharpest memories should be of some few moments the day before everything began. Seemingl y unconnected to what followed, this memory is often one of the f irst things that comes to me when I call up those weeks, those mo nths-the prelude, the long, beautiful, somber note I heard but ch ose to disregard. This is it: silence between us. The only sound s the noises of the boat-the squeal of the oarlocks when my husba nd pulled on the oars, the almost inaudible creak of the wooden s eat with his slight motion, and then the glip and liquid swirl of the oars through the water, and the sound of the boat rushing fo rward. My husband's back was to me as I lay in the hard curve of the bow. He sat still a long time between each pull. The oars dr ipped and then slowly stopped dripping. Everything quieted. Somet imes he picked up his fishing rod and reeled it in a bit, pulling it one way or another. Sometimes he recast, standing high above me in the boat, the light line whipping wider and wider, whistlin g faintly in its looping arc across the sky before he let it go. It was a day in mid-fall, well after the turning of the leaves. The weather was glorious. We always took one day a week off toget her, and if the weather was good, we often went fishing. Or my hu sband went fishing and I went along, usually with a book to read. Even when the girls were small and it was harder to arrange, we managed at least part of the day alone together. In those early y ears we sometimes made love in the boat when we were fishing, or in the woods-we had so little time and privacy at home. It was a Monday. The day off was always Monday, because Sunday was Daniel 's busiest day at work and Saturday was mine. Monday was our day of rest. And what I recollect of that Monday, that fine fall day, is that for some long moments in the boat, I was suddenly aware of my state, in a way we aren't often. That is, I was abruptly an d most intensely, sharply aware of all the aspects of life surrou nding me, and yet of feeling neither part of it nor truly separat ed from it. Somehow impartial, unattached-an observer. Yet sentie nt of it all. Deeply sentient, in fact. But to no apparent purpos e. If I were trying to account for this feeling, I might say tha t it had something to do with the way I was half lying, half sitt ing on several pillows in the bow, the way the curving walls of t he old rowboat framed a foreground for my view as they rose away from me. I saw them, these peeling wooden inner walls, and then m y husband's familiar shape. Above him there was the flat, milky-b lue sky and sometimes, when we were close enough to shore, the fu rred, nearly black line of the spruces and pines against it. In t he air above us swallows darted-dark, quick silhouettes-and once a cedar waxwing moved smoothly through them. Layers of life above me. Below, I could hear the lap of the deep water through the wa lls of the boat. As a result, let's say, I felt suspended, waiti ng. Between all these worlds and part of none of them. But this isn't what I really believe; I think the sensation came from some where within me. We feel this way sometimes in adolescence, too, surely most of us can call it up. But then there's the burning i mpatience for the next thing to take shape, for whatever it is we are about to become and be to announce itself. This was differen t: there was, I supposed, no next thing. I had felt something l ike this every now and then in the last year or so, sometimes at work as I tightened a stitch or gave an injection: the awareness of having done this a thousand times before, of surely having a t housand times left to do it again. Of doing it well and thoroughl y and neatly, as I liked to do things, and simultaneously of bein g at a great distance from my own actions. Or at home, setting t he table, sitting down with my husband to another meal, beginning our friendly evening conversation about the day-the house quiet around us, the old dogs dozing under the table or occasionally nu zzling our feet. A sense suddenly of being utterly present and al so, simultaneously, far, far away. Now I stirred, shifted my wei ght. My husband turned, no aspect of his face not dear to me. Hur ting? he asked. And with that, as quickly as it had come over me , the moment ended. I was back, solidly in time, exactly where we were. It was getting chilly. I had been lying in the wooden boat for several hours now, and even though I had the pillows under m e, I was stiff. I had a bad hip. Replacement had been discussed, though everyone said I was young for it. I liked only that part o f the problem, being too young for something. A little, I said. We'll head back. Are you sure? I've got two reasonable ones. I 'm a happy man. He began to reel his line in. I turned and stret ched. How nice, to be a happy man, I said. He looked over his sh oulder at me, to get my tone. It is nice, he said. And I meant i t, I answered. As we rowed back, as we drove home, I found mysel f wanting to tell my husband about my feeling, but then not knowi ng what to call it. The shadow of it lingered with me, but I didn 't say anything to Daniel. He would hear it as a want, a need. He would feel called upon to offer comfort. Daniel is a minister, a preacher, a pastor. His business is the care of his flock, his m edium is words-thrilling words, admonishing or consoling words. I knew he could console me, but consolation wasn't what I felt I w anted. And so we drove along in silence, too, and I looked out th e window at the back roads that sometimes seemed utterly rural, p art of the nineteenth century, and sometimes seemed abruptly the worst of contemporary suburban life: the sere, beautiful old fiel ds carved up to accommodate the too-wide circular asphalt drivewa ys, the too-grand fake-garrison-colonial houses. We lived in the center of town, an old, old town-Adams Mills, the Adamses long d ead, the mills long burned down. Our house was a simple square fa rmhouse, added on to repeatedly at the back of the first floor ov er the years, as was the custom then with these old New England h omes. We had an unpainted barn behind it, and behind that was a s mall meadow which turned to pinewoods at the far edge, woods that hid our neighbors to the rear, though in the summer we could hea r them fighting, calling each other things that used to make the girls laugh with joy. You fat-ass pig! they'd imitate. You stupid shithead!-which for some years they had, uncorrected, as shiphea d. We used the barn as a garage now, and Daniel had his study ou t there, in a small heated room at the back. When we'd moved in, it was still full of rusting old tools and implements, the kinds of things people clean up and hang on their walls as folk art. Th ere were still mason jars of unidentifiable fruits and vegetables in the old root cellar, a dark earthen space you entered by lift ing a sort of trapdoor in the kitchen yard. Because of all this, we felt connected to the house's life as part of a farm. Yet at the front of the house we were townsfolk, connected to the villag e. Our view was across the old common to the big Congregational c hurch. Not Daniel's church, it's true, and we looked at its back side-its rump, the girls had called it-but it was a splendid civi c vista nonetheless. Beyond the church, we could see the row of g rand Georgian houses lined up face-to-face with its front. Along one side of the green was an inn, where we could get a fancy and tasteless meal in the main dining room, or a beer and a good ham burger in the bar, with its large-screen TV always tuned to the s ports network. Along the other side of the green there were shops : a small, expensive grocery, a video store, a store with high-qu ality kitsch-stoneware, cute gardening tools, stationery, rubber stamps, coffee-table books, Venetian-glass paperweights. Everythi ng in town was clapboard, painted white with green or black trim. If, Ballantine Books, 2000, 3, Berkley Books. Good. 6.34 x 1.5 x 9.04 inches.

Command refused to commit the forces required to achieve total victory in Afghanistan. Instead, they delegated responsibility for fighting the war's biggest battle-one that could have broken Al Qaeda and captured Osama bin Laden-to a hodge-podge of units thrown together at the last moment. At dawn on March 2, 2002, America's first major battle of the 21st century began. Over 200 soldiers of the 101st Airborne and 10th Mountain Divisions flew into Afghanistan's Shahikot valley-and into the mouth of a buzz saw. They were about to pay a bloody price for strategic, higher-level miscalculations that underestimated the enemy's strength and willingness to fight. Now, award-winning journalist Sean Naylor, an eyewitness to the battle, details the failures of military intelligence and planning, and vividly portrays the astonishing heroism of these young, untested U.S. soldiers. Denied the extra infantry, artillery, and attack helicopters with which they trained to go to war, these troops nevertheless proved their worth in brutal combat and-along with the exceptional daring of a small team of U.S. commandos-prevented an American military disaster.

IT'S ODD, I SUPPOSE, THAT WHEN I THINK BACK OVER that h appened in that terrible time, one of my sharpest memories should be of some few moments the day before everything began. Seemingl y unconnected to what followed, this memory is often one of the f irst things that comes to me when I call up those weeks, those mo nths-the prelude, the long, beautiful, somber note I heard but ch ose to disregard. This is it: silence between us. The only sound s the noises of the boat-the squeal of the oarlocks when my husba nd pulled on the oars, the almost inaudible creak of the wooden s eat with his slight motion, and then the glip and liquid swirl of the oars through the water, and the sound of the boat rushing fo rward. My husband's back was to me as I lay in the hard curve of the bow. He sat still a long time between each pull. The oars dr ipped and then slowly stopped dripping. Everything quieted. Somet imes he picked up his fishing rod and reeled it in a bit, pulling it one way or another. Sometimes he recast, standing high above me in the boat, the light line whipping wider and wider, whistlin g faintly in its looping arc across the sky before he let it go. It was a day in mid-fall, well after the turning of the leaves. The weather was glorious. We always took one day a week off toget her, and if the weather was good, we often went fishing. Or my hu sband went fishing and I went along, usually with a book to read. Even when the girls were small and it was harder to arrange, we managed at least part of the day alone together. In those early y ears we sometimes made love in the boat when we were fishing, or in the woods-we had so little time and privacy at home. It was a Monday. The day off was always Monday, because Sunday was Daniel 's busiest day at work and Saturday was mine. Monday was our day of rest. And what I recollect of that Monday, that fine fall day, is that for some long moments in the boat, I was suddenly aware of my state, in a way we aren't often. That is, I was abruptly an d most intensely, sharply aware of all the aspects of life surrou nding me, and yet of feeling neither part of it nor truly separat ed from it. Somehow impartial, unattached-an observer. Yet sentie nt of it all. Deeply sentient, in fact. But to no apparent purpos e. If I were trying to account for this feeling, I might say tha t it had something to do with the way I was half lying, half sitt ing on several pillows in the bow, the way the curving walls of t he old rowboat framed a foreground for my view as they rose away from me. I saw them, these peeling wooden inner walls, and then m y husband's familiar shape. Above him there was the flat, milky-b lue sky and sometimes, when we were close enough to shore, the fu rred, nearly black line of the spruces and pines against it. In t he air above us swallows darted-dark, quick silhouettes-and once a cedar waxwing moved smoothly through them. Layers of life above me. Below, I could hear the lap of the deep water through the wa lls of the boat. As a result, let's say, I felt suspended, waiti ng. Between all these worlds and part of none of them. But this isn't what I really believe; I think the sensation came from some where within me. We feel this way sometimes in adolescence, too, surely most of us can call it up. But then there's the burning i mpatience for the next thing to take shape, for whatever it is we are about to become and be to announce itself. This was differen t: there was, I supposed, no next thing. I had felt something l ike this every now and then in the last year or so, sometimes at work as I tightened a stitch or gave an injection: the awareness of having done this a thousand times before, of surely having a t housand times left to do it again. Of doing it well and thoroughl y and neatly, as I liked to do things, and simultaneously of bein g at a great distance from my own actions. Or at home, setting t he table, sitting down with my husband to another meal, beginning our friendly evening conversation about the day-the house quiet around us, the old dogs dozing under the table or occasionally nu zzling our feet. A sense suddenly of being utterly present and al so, simultaneously, far, far away. Now I stirred, shifted my wei ght. My husband turned, no aspect of his face not dear to me. Hur ting? he asked. And with that, as quickly as it had come over me , the moment ended. I was back, solidly in time, exactly where we were. It was getting chilly. I had been lying in the wooden boat for several hours now, and even though I had the pillows under m e, I was stiff. I had a bad hip. Replacement had been discussed, though everyone said I was young for it. I liked only that part o f the problem, being too young for something. A little, I said. We'll head back. Are you sure? I've got two reasonable ones. I 'm a happy man. He began to reel his line in. I turned and stret ched. How nice, to be a happy man, I said. He looked over his sh oulder at me, to get my tone. It is nice, he said. And I meant i t, I answered. As we rowed back, as we drove home, I found mysel f wanting to tell my husband about my feeling, but then not knowi ng what to call it. The shadow of it lingered with me, but I didn 't say anything to Daniel. He would hear it as a want, a need. He would feel called upon to offer comfort. Daniel is a minister, a preacher, a pastor. His business is the care of his flock, his m edium is words-thrilling words, admonishing or consoling words. I knew he could console me, but consolation wasn't what I felt I w anted. And so we drove along in silence, too, and I looked out th e window at the back roads that sometimes seemed utterly rural, p art of the nineteenth century, and sometimes seemed abruptly the worst of contemporary suburban life: the sere, beautiful old fiel ds carved up to accommodate the too-wide circular asphalt drivewa ys, the too-grand fake-garrison-colonial houses. We lived in the center of town, an old, old town-Adams Mills, the Adamses long d ead, the mills long burned down. Our house was a simple square fa rmhouse, added on to repeatedly at the back of the first floor ov er the years, as was the custom then with these old New England h omes. We had an unpainted barn behind it, and behind that was a s mall meadow which turned to pinewoods at the far edge, woods that hid our neighbors to the rear, though in the summer we could hea r them fighting, calling each other things that used to make the girls laugh with joy. You fat-ass pig! they'd imitate. You stupid shithead!-which for some years they had, uncorrected, as shiphea d. We used the barn as a garage now, and Daniel had his study ou t there, in a small heated room at the back. When we'd moved in, it was still full of rusting old tools and implements, the kinds of things people clean up and hang on their walls as folk art. Th ere were still mason jars of unidentifiable fruits and vegetables in the old root cellar, a dark earthen space you entered by lift ing a sort of trapdoor in the kitchen yard. Because of all this, we felt connected to the house's life as part of a farm. Yet at the front of the house we were townsfolk, connected to the villag e. Our view was across the old common to the big Congregational c hurch. Not Daniel's church, it's true, and we looked at its back side-its rump, the girls had called it-but it was a splendid civi c vista nonetheless. Beyond the church, we could see the row of g rand Georgian houses lined up face-to-face with its front. Along one side of the green was an inn, where we could get a fancy and tasteless meal in the main dining room, or a beer and a good ham burger in the bar, with its large-screen TV always tuned to the s ports network. Along the other side of the green there were shops : a small, expensive grocery, a video store, a store with high-qu ality kitsch-stoneware, cute gardening tools, stationery, rubber stamps, coffee-table books, Venetian-glass paperweights. Everythi ng in town was clapboard, painted white with green or black trim. If, Ballantine Books, 2000, 3, Berkley Books. Good. 6.34 x 1.5 x 9.04 inches.

Command refused to commit the forces required to achieve total victory in Afghanistan. Instead, they delegated responsibility for fighting the war's biggest battle-one that could have broken Al Qaeda and captured Osama bin Laden-to a hodge-podge of units thrown together at the last moment. At dawn on March 2, 2002, America's first major battle of the 21st century began. Over 200 soldiers of the 101st Airborne and 10th Mountain Divisions flew into Afghanistan's Shahikot valley-and into the mouth of a buzz saw. They were about to pay a bloody price for strategic, higher-level miscalculations that underestimated the enemy's strength and willingness to fight. Now, award-winning journalist Sean Naylor, an eyewitness to the battle, details the failures of military intelligence and planning, and vividly portrays the astonishing heroism of these young, untested U.S. soldiers. Denied the extra infantry, artillery, and attack helicopters with which they trained to go to war, these troops nevertheless proved their worth in brutal combat and-along with the exceptional daring of a small team of U.S. commandos-prevented an American military disaster.
