Publisher's summary

In June 2005, four U.S. Navy SEALs left their base in Afghanistan for the Pakistani border. Their mission was to capture or kill a notorious al Qaeda leader. Less then 24 hours later, only one of those SEALs remained alive.

This is the story of team leader Marcus Luttrell, the sole survivor of Operation Redwing and the desperate battle that led to the largest loss of life in Navy SEAL history. More than anything, this is the story of how his teammates stood beside him until he was the last one left - blasted unconscious by a rocket grenade, blown over a cliff, but still armed and breathing.

Over the next four days, badly injured and presumed dead, Luttrell fought off six al Qaeda assassins who were sent to finish him, then crawled for seven miles through the mountains before he was taken in by a Pashtun tribe that risked everything to protect him from the Taliban.

In this moving chronicle of courage, Marcus Luttrell offers one of the most powerful narratives ever written about modern warfare.

A story of pure patriotism and love of country

This story shows the amazing love of country and a true American hero. how can you not respect the brave men and woman who defend our freedom. The most riveting part of this work his the authors description of the love he has for his fellow SEAL Brothers. Excellent read.

Phenomenal account of a heroic situation.

One of the best I've listed to so far. the narrator made it easy to listen to as well. most of the narrator's for these kinda books are out of place with there environment. one man's opnion.

Thank You For Your Service HM1 Luttrell!

A story that is one of the most horrific and beautiful symphonies of the human condition. Hero isn't a good enough word for Marcus Luttrell. He is so much more! #hooyahnavy #operationredwings

Heroism and Extreme Tougness

Harsh language but shows heroism even better than the movie. SEALS are unimaginably tough. Let this motivate you.
