Summary
Aziz was more than an interpreter for Force Recon Marine Chad Robichaux during his eight deployments to Afghanistan. He was a teammate, brother, and friend. When President Biden announced in April 2021 that the United States would be making a hasty withdrawal from Afghanistan, it was vital to get Aziz and his family out before Taliban forces took over the country. Robichaux details the incredible rescue missions that evacuated not only his long-time comrade and interpreter, but also more than 17,000 Afghans and allies who were left in the grip of the Taliban's violent regime. -- adapted from jacket
