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.

Should be a movie

This book kept me on the edge of my seat and heart pounding even though I knew the outcome. What true heros these men are. True stories are always more amazing than fiction. Also interesting if Navy Seal training interests you. Marcus Luttrell: A true American Hero!

Lone Survivor

This book is as good as the real guy. I have heard interviews with him and had to listen to the rest of the story. A great American soldier.

Outstanding

Ths book is one of a kind. It gave me chills and brings tears of pride to my eyes.

Interesting

While I really enjoyed this book and found it very interesting and insightful, I couldn't get over the use of swear words in every other sentence. Please, we don't need to hear your potty mouth.

A man's read.

Lone Survivor

Great story. The reader does a great job.

Fantastic

I was completely captured by this book, I gained new respect for our soldiers and what they do for us. My heart hurts for those who have given their lives because they believe in something bigger than themselves. I admire Marcus Luttrell for his sacrifice and his service to our country. Great book!

INSPIRING, EYE-OPENING, AND LIFE CHANGING

Try listening to this book and not be affected. It's impossible. Excellently written in the first person, it's as if Marcus was there telling you his story in person. This is not only an incredible true story about one's survival in the middle east, but its also an inside look at the life of a navy seal. This book is strongly recommended

Learn what and who it requires to keep us free.

Awesome events. The real story is who and what it requires to keep us all loving our fantastical existences.

Loved It, Loved It, Loved It!

Lone Survivor, written by the only survivor of Operation Redwing, Petty Officer First Class Marcus Luttrell, was EXCELLENT.

In the story he shares with you his Texas background, his SEALS training, and the Operation Redwing firefight that he survived on the Afghanistan-Pakistan border.

I feel that his experience deserves to be told, in addition to learning about those that lost their lives that July of 2005. I am glad that I read it!

Kevin T. Collins did an great job in narrating the story.
