Saving Aziz Summary

Saving Aziz: How the Mission to Help One Became a Calling to Rescue Thousands from the Taliban by Chad Robichaux

Now a Wall Street Journal Bestseller

It was the right thing to do. And someone had to do it.

Aziz was more than an interpreter for Force Recon Marine Chad Robichaux during Chad's eight deployments to Afghanistan. He was a teammate, brother, and friend. More than once, Aziz saved Chad's life. And then he needed Chad to save his.

When President Joe Biden announced in April 2021 that the United States would be making a hasty withdrawal from Afghanistan, Robichaux knew he had to get Aziz and his family out before Taliban forces took over the country. As the rescue team began to go to work, they became aware of thousands more--US citizens, Afghan allies, women, and children--facing persecution.

This gripping account of two war heroes and friends puts human hearts and names alongside the headlines of one of the most harrowing moments in our history, giving you a closer look at:

  • The resilience of Afghanistan and its people
  • The twenty-year war that took place under four presidents
  • A mission accomplished and the work that's still to be done

Saving Aziz is more than a story of war and rescue: it's about breaking down prejudice and apathy--and why risking it all is worth it when it comes to loving one another.

Praise for Saving Aziz:

Saving Aziz is the story of two warriors...brought together by war and a brotherhood forged through years of battling...for the cause of freedom and captures the heroic efforts of those who took action to not only rescue Aziz and his family in the US withdrawal but thousands of others.

--Tim Kennedy, New York Times bestselling author, US Army Special Forces, Sniper

About Chad Robichaux

Chad is a former Force Recon Marine and Department of Defense contractor with eight deployments to Afghanistan as part of a Special Operations Task Force. After overcoming his own personal battles with PTSD, Chad founded the Mighty Oaks Foundation, a leading nonprofit that has served veterans through their faith-based, combat resiliency programs. Chad also cofounded Save Our Allies, a nonprofit established out of his personal desire to save long-time friend and former interpreter Aziz from Afghanistan. To date, Save Our Allies has safely evacuated over 17,000 people from Afghanistan and is currently operating in Ukraine as the Russian invasion continues. For his heroic actions during the Afghanistan evacuations, Glenn Beck and Mercury One presented Chad with the Bonhoeffer Angel Award for displaying true leadership, moral courage, and selfless sacrifice to help those in need. In addition to his life-saving endeavors, Chad also served as a Special Agent with the U.S. Federal Air Marshal Service, as a Surveillance Detection Senior Program Manager with the U.S. State Department, and as a law enforcement officer, where he received a Medal of Valor for his bravery above and beyond the call of duty. Chad is a subject matter expert on veteran's care, having advised presidential administrations, Congress, the VA, the DoD and was appointed to serve as the Chairman of a White House Veterans Coalition under former President Trump. He is regularly featured on national media, and has been a contributor to Fox News, Newsmax, The Blaze and other outlets. Chad and his wife, Kathy, have been married for 27 years, and they have a daughter, two sons and two granddaughters. His two sons, Hayden and Hunter, are both 3rd generation U.S. Marines from the Robichaux family and share their father's lifelong passion as a martial artist. Chad is a fourth-degree Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt under Carlson Gracie Jr. and is a former professional mixed martial arts champion.
