Publisher's summary

Navy SEAL Marcus Luttrell returned from his star-crossed mission in Afghanistan with his bones shattered and his heart broken. So many had given their lives to save him-and he would have readily done the same for them. As he recuperated, he wondered why he and others, from America's founding to today, had been willing to sacrifice everything-including themselves-for the sake of family, nation, and freedom.

In Service, we follow Marcus Luttrell to Iraq, where he returns to the battlefield as a member of SEAL Team 5 to help take on the most dangerous city in the world: Ramadi, the capital of war-torn Al Anbar Province. There, in six months of high-intensity urban combat, he would be part of what has been called the greatest victory in the history of U.S. Special Operations forces. We also return to Afghanistan and Operation Redwing, where Luttrell offers powerful new details about his miraculous rescue. Throughout, he reflects on what it really means to take on a higher calling, about the men he's seen lose their lives for their country, and the legacy of those who came and bled before.

A thrilling war story, Service is also a profoundly moving tribute to the warrior brotherhood, to the belief that nobody goes it alone, and no one will be left behind.

Great follow up to Lone Survivor

Insights from the first book ( Lone Survivor) were great. I really liked the stories and the credit given to the other services, the stories of war from other service members involved in the same or other wars.

Fantastic read!

A Fantastic follow up to the equally fantastic Lone Survivor! Would love to hear more from Mr. Luttrell, especially in light of the ongoing coup attempt regarding our sitting President & the rapid rise of Socialism in our country.

The search for Axe

The search for Axe was really hard to hear and how there might have been a slight chance he was alive. I had tears in my eye the whole time. Thank you to all that have served and protected our great country 👊🏻🇺🇸

Americanism

Stories of true service that moved my soul and spirit to a new level of love for those who do the unthinkable for the sake of the undeserving that can only be the result of great love. Thank you to the true 1%.

I would highly recommend this book. A great book!

I would highly recommend this book. It is a great insight into the life and real world of those sacrificing everyday so that we can all enjoy freedoms we often take forgranted.

Some get it, many don't.

This second book by Marcus Luttrell is excellent. It covers all the bases of emotion in a well written way that allows you to connect with him in a small way. Military members are a special breed. The book was humbling to day the least. The things that our service members go through for our country is amazing and no words can ever show them the gratitude they deserve.

AMZING Story, BLAH performer

If you could sum up Service in three words, what would they be?

AMAZEBALLZ!!!! I absolutely loved this book. I loved getting to hear about the other Navy Seals that Marcus has know and get to hear about their story. Very moving to hear about other peoples sacrifices

Did the narration match the pace of the story?

I did not like the narration. Too mono toned for me. I had listened to Lone Survivor before this so I knew how Kevin Collins was, but still, I wanted more excitement.
