What to expect
A Few Bad Men is the incredible true story of an elite team of US Marines set up to take the fall for Afghanistan war crimes they did not commit—and their leader who fought for the redemption of his men.
Ambushed in Afghanistan and betrayed by their own leaders, these elite Marines fought for their lives again, back home.
A cross between A Few Good Men and American Sniper, this is the true story of an elite Marine special operations unit bombed by an IED and shot at during an Afghanistan ambush. The Marine Commandos were falsely accused of gunning down innocent Afghan civilians following the ambush. The unit’s leader, Major Fred Galvin, was summarily relieved of duty, and his unit was booted from the combat zone. They were condemned by everyone, from the Afghan president to American generals. When Fox Company returned to America, Galvin and his captain were the targets of the first Court of Inquiry in the Marines in fifty years.
Critics Review
“An incredible account of how our front-line leadership overcame insurmountable odds. A must read for all leaders.”
“[The] account and history of the fighting spirit of the ‘Marine Raiders’ under fire and the relentless fourteen-year campaign by their leader to clear their names and ‘keep their honor clean.’”
“A powerful depiction of combat and a battle for justice and vindication.”
“Reveals how the US military, desperate to protect its public image at all costs, sometimes sacrifices the honor of men in combat.”
“His dramatic retelling of his experience as commander of Fox Company reads like a thriller—full of twists and turns—filled with unassuming heroes and deceitful villains.”
