But it was a 9-page section in chapter seven that caught our eye. It details several failed rescue attempts for Prisoner Of War Bowe Bergdahl.

Bissonnette, who uses the pen name Mark Owen, calls the rescue efforts a "race to get (Bergdahl) back before they smuggled him into Pakistan."

"One evening just after the first video appeared, we got word they might have possible location for him,” the book reads. “'Intelligence says he was likely in this area south of Kabul today,' our troop commander said, pointing at a map of central Afghanistan. 'We don't have much intel to go off of, but this is a priority"

The books goes on to say:

"We never found Bergdahl on that deployment... but in my gut, I think he was there at some point. We probably missed him by a few hours, or maybe in the fight they were able to escape."
