Resumen del Editor

On September 29, 2006, Michael Monsoor and three SEAL snipers watched vigilantly for enemy activity from their rooftop post in Ar Ramadi, Iraq. When a grenade thrown from insurgents bounced off Michael's chest, he could have escaped. Instead, he threw himself onto the live grenade, shielding his fellow soldiers from the immediate explosion. Michael died thirty minutes later, having made the ultimate sacrifice.

As George Monsoor (Michael's father) and Rose Rea show us in Defend Us in Battle, Michael had prepared for this selfless act all his life—a life that inspires us to have a similar generosity of heart. This fast-paced, compelling biography

  • tells the true story of a quiet boy from California who achieved his dream of becoming a Navy SEAL and saved numerous lives throughout his deployment
  • recounts how Michael's childhood of asthma and being bullied made him a staunch defender of justice and passionate about never quitting
  • draws on interviews, military documents, and eyewitness accounts to detail Michael’s remarkable military career and devotion to God and others
  • is perfect for readers of fans biographies such as Unbroken, as well as for anyone eager to remember that this world still has heroes

In addition to the Medal of Honor, Michael received a Silver Star, a Bronze Star Medal, and the Purple Heart for his years serving his country. But his greatest legacy is in the hearts of those he inspired to live, and even die, for the sake of brotherly love.

Hero

What a beast. He had obviously already made the decision a long time ago and he would give his wife if it came down to it.

Well worth the read.

Great story of a great man raised by a strong loving family. A man of virtue, character and an ability to love and live life selflessly. The world is a better place having his impression left on it. God rest his soul.

The real captain American

With civilization divided in plenty of ways, many more concerned of their own well being over others comes Michael’s story true of duty, honor, family, sacrifice, faith, and standing up for those who cannot. Powerful story and happily recommend!

Humble hero

Thank you to the Monsoor family who raised a fine young man. Thank you Mr. Monsoor for laying down your life for your brothers and taking the fight to the enemy, for my freedom. You are a hero and words aren’t enough to express my gratitude for your sacrifice. I loved hearing about the making of the ship and the salute to the cemetery. Gave me chills!
