520			_a"'Scouts Out!' provides a unique view of the war in Afghanistan, from the vantage point of Ryan Robicheaux: an OH-58D Kiowa Warrior helicopter pilot in the U.S. Air Cavalry. The Kiowa- a deep reconnaissance scout and attack aircraft - was legendary to those it supported. Regularly flying mere feet off of the ground while intentionally drawing enemy fire, almost everyone called Kiowa pilots crazy. Responsible for hunting elusive enemy fighters and protecting those under their charge, Kiowa crews displayed a fierce and intense devotion that was unparalleled. In 'Scouts Out!, ' Robicheaux recounts a deeply personal journey through two deployments, documenting the day-to-day life, struggles, combat, and extreme challenges faced. Drawing from copious notes, everything captured here is raw, real, and in-the-moment. Richly illustrated with 70 original photographs and maps, 'Scouts Out!' presents an essential and accurate narrative of the conflict in Afghanistan, something that has rarely been shared with the public. This is an engrossing true story from America's longest and least understood war."--Page 4 of cover
