Roughneck Nine-One

"Nine-One Don't Run!" On April 6, 2003, twenty-six Green Berets, including those of Sergeant First Class Frank Antenori's Special Forces A-team (call sign Roughneck Nine-One), led a violent battle against a vastly superior force at the remote crossroads near the village of Debecka, Iraq. In a legendary conflict, they stopped an enemy unit that included battle tanks, 150 well-trained, well-equipped and well-commanded soldiers. Any normal American light infantry fighting such an imposing force would have turned and run for cover, but not the Green Berets. "Nine-One Don't Run" was Antenori's team's motto from the very beginning. In a spectacular fight, they battled Iraqi tanks and personnel until only a handful of Iraqi survivors finally fled the battlefield. Roughneck Nine-One is the never-before-told, unsanitized, and unedited story of this extraordinary feat. "Roughneck Nine-One is a rare and unexpectedly personal look into the elite world of a Special Forces A-team." -- Jack Coughlin, New York Times bestselling author of Shooter Sgt. 1st Class Frank Antenori, US Army (Retired), joined the Special Forces in 1988.
