The Army does not want you to read this book. It seeks to hide its detention system that protects enemy fighters while endangering American soldiers. The military's new legal framework prosecutes U.S. service members while freeing spies who kill Americans. This very system ambushed Captain Roger Hill and his men. A West Point graduate and decorated combat veteran, Hill was a rising officer who adhered strictly to military law. In 2007, he became the infantry commander of Dog Company, 1-506th, fresh from the brutal combat in Ramadi. His men, skilled in battle but struggling with post-deployment life, transformed into the battalion's top performers under Hill and his First Sergeant, Tommy Scott. However, their deployment to Afghanistan brought severe challenges, with a third of the company becoming casualties in just six months. Compounding Hill's struggles was a contentious relationship with his battalion commander, who frequently threatened his position. After two men died during a routine patrol, Hill and a counterintelligence team uncovered enemy infiltrators on their base in Wardak. Facing abandonment by his superiors, Hill confronted a harrowing decision: adhere to Army regulations as he always had or defy them to protect the men he had come to care for deeply.

Colton, not yet four years old, told his parents he left his body during the surgery - and authenticated that claim by describing exactly what his parents were doing in another part of the hospital while he was being operated on. He talked of visiting heaven and relayed stories told to him by people he met there whom he had never met in life, sharing events that happened before he was born. He also astonished his parents with descriptions and obscure details about heaven that matched the Bible exactly, though he had not yet learned to read
