Roughneck Nine One
by Frank Antenori
A powerful look inside a Special Forces A-Team and its dramatic and controversial battle against a huge opposing force in Iraq.
On April 6th, 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 battle against a vastly superior force at a remote crossroads near the village of Debecka, Iraq. The enemy unit had battle tanks and 150 well-trained, well-equipped, and well-commanded soldiers. The Green Berets stopped the enemy advance, then fought them until only a handful of Iraqi survivors finally fled the battlefield.
In the process, Nine One encountered hordes of news media and at the peak of the fight, a US Navy F-14 dropped a 500-pound bomb into the middle of a group of supporting Kurdish Peshmerga fighters, killing and wounding dozens. This is the never-before-told, unsanitized, unedited story of the fight for the crossroads at Debecka, Iraq, and a unique inside look at a Special Forces A-Team as it recruits and organizes, trains for combat, and eventually fights a battle against a huge opposing force in Iraq.
SFC FRANK ANTENORI, U.S. Army (Ret.) joined the Special Forces in 1988. Since then, he has participated in numerous operations in over thirty-four countries and has been awarded numerous decorations and citations, with seven received for combat actions.
HANS HALBERSTADT has authored or co-authored more than fifty books, most on military subjects, especially U.S. special operations forces, armor, and artillery. He served in the U.S. Army as a helicopter door gunner in Vietnam.
I'll be doing the talk show and book signing circuit from 25 May to 15 June promoting the book.The press release is supposed to have a teaser; I'll ask my publisher if I can post it here first to give you guys a taste of what's in store for the rest of the book.Ft Bragg may be where we debut the book on Tues aftercMemorial Day, the day before you can buy it anywhere else. The publicist for the publisher is looking at a couple of other places though so Bragg is not a lock. It will be on the tour though. Also, it looks like we’ll be in Tampa for SOF week 19-23 June giving away free copies to all active duty SOF that want one (while supplies last). I'll put a couple to the side for my fellow Army comrades, because I'm betting those Air Force guys at MacDill, will try to scarf them up.You guys beat me to the punch, I was planning on posting the schedule when I announced the debut of the book, but unfortunately we’re still a couple months out from finalizing everything.

Hi MB,
Been reading your site for a while but the template is all screwed up so it's hard to read it.. There's some kind of blue bar going right down the middle of the post. Let me know if you need help fixin' it.
Thanks for everything!
yes plz i need help!!!!!! have any tips?
I think what is messing up the site are the google ads and the bravenet links in the sidebar.
Or there could be a tag that accidentally did not get closed somewhere in there.
I can try looking at the source too see if it can be cleaned up a little....
Also forgot to mention, you might want to turn on comment authentication in the blogger settings. Looks like you got a ton of comment spam.
Ok there are 4 things wrong. (I cant enter "<>" style brackets so I will enclose the code in "[]" brackets so you can read them.) In your template scroll down to where it says Begin Sidebar.
Right underneath it you need to remove the extra
[table]
[tr]
Remove those.
Next right beneath the table, it says "Start Bravenet Code"
The 1st line of code says [div align="center"]
Change the 1st line of code to say [div align="right"]
That was the main thing messing up the alignment.
Then if you scroll down some more, beneath the "Powered by Blogger" button, beneath 2 bravenet buttons, there is a banner ad for google that is 728 pixels wide. That is wacking out the bottom because it's to big for the sidebar. I would just remove it or replace it with something that would fit in the sidebar.
Finally, beneath the google ad in one of the bravenet buttons there is an extra "<". It looks like this: [[script type="text/javascript"] {but with "<" symbols). You should remove the extra "<"
Hope that helps!!
hey looks like it's fixed! Cool!
Thanks
Just got done reading your book. Saw it on the shelf and picked it up on a fluke. Don't really read much military non-fiction. Just thought you'd like to know that I am from very near where you grew up and my dad as it turns out, knew your mom. She used to work for him. His name was Don and he wore the beret years ago. Your mom will probably know who he is. I put two and two together from reading the book, and then callled my dad after reading it to let him know that I thought you were from our area. Sure enough, that's when he said he knew your mom. I myself spent four years in the 82nd as an 11B. Thought about the greenie beenie, but they wanted six years from me at that point. Did well in the 1 of the 504, B Co., but wound up going on to college. I miss somethings about those days, and I share a lot of your opinions on the dangers of over conventionalizing our troops. Hope you are doing well and I enjoyed your book...it was a pleasant surprise for the Thanksgiving weekend.
