Industry Reviews
"Andrew Bragg's The Devil's Playground provides a heartfelt and vivid portrayal of 2nd Platoon, C Company, 2-508 PIR during the 2009-2010 deployment in the Arghandab River Valley of Afghanistan, with a particular emphasis on the crucial role of our sergeants--the NCOs. As their Company Commander, I witnessed firsthand how these NCOs turned the chaos of war into a mission driven by mutual support and unwavering brotherhood. This book is not just about the battles we fought; it's about the profound connections forged amid adversity. I am deeply proud to have served with these extraordinary men, whose leadership and camaraderie carried us through our toughest challenges. The Devil's Playground is a moving tribute to the pride, unity, and strength that defined our journey and will forever be a testament to the bonds we built." --Lieutenant Colonel Jimmy Razuri, United States Army, former commander of C co, 2-508 PIR
"The manner in which Andrew wholeheartedly took on the mission to drive thousands of miles cross-country, to gather each soldier's personal and detailed perspective of what we experienced nearly 15 years ago through one-on-one interviews, makes The Devil's Playground an extremely unique book. He spent countless hours seamlessly merging those memories to capture the most accurate and unfiltered version of our unit's story. It's not a book highlighting just one individual or one major event, but a collective narrative portraying the resilience of a unit who faced an unprecedented number of consecutive challenges and overcame them together. Most importantly, I believe this book can provide readers with valuable context and personal insight that would otherwise be unaccounted for with the silence of the fallen and the reserved voices of those who survived the Devil's Playground." --Adam Lachance, former Two Charlie SGT
