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.

Narrators fake over the top accent ruined it

I read the hard copy and very much enjoyed the story of this real American Hero. I bought the audio book to put a few extra dollars in his pocket, but the narrator was the worst unlistenable garbage. Fake Texas accent ruined it completely.

This is by far one of the best books I have read if not the best book. This is a true act of heroism from all members of the red wing operation. May all the soldiers on seal team 10 who pass on during their fight for our freedom Rest In Peace.

Relatable to everyone.

From never being able to join the military due to a unforeseen injury this book reminds myself to take on the mindset of never quitting! It’s no small or easy task but if we take those simple steps daily we will be okay. Hear of this inspiring story of men who survived and those who ultimately gave their lives for freedom. The sacrifice is real, the story is real, and your tears and courage will become real. Pick up this book and join the Team Never Quit mindset!

Outstanding courage

From start to finish the story moves. Marcus draws you into the story in such a way that one feels like he/she is actually there with him and his fellow Seals. This is a true accounting of outstanding courage. Marcus deserves a wonderful rest of his life. Thank you and your friends in arms for all you do to protect this country.
