Publisher's summary

From the coauthor of the #1New York Times bestseller Lone Survivor comes the riveting behind-the-scenes story of the three NavySEALs who captured the "Butcher of Fallujah" and, having been charged with prisoner abuse, their long road to justice.

On a daring nighttime raid in September 2009, a team of Navy SEALs grabbed the notorious terrorist Ahmed Hashim Abed, the villainous "Butcher of Fallujah," the mastermind behind the 2004 murder and mutilation off our American contractors. In this no-holds-barred account, bestselling author Patrick Robinson reveals for the first time the entire story, from the night the SEALs stormed the al-Qaeda desert stronghold to the accusations and legaltwists and turns that followed to the cut-and-thrust drama in the court room where the fate of three American heroes hung in the balance.

Not going to make you feel good

This is the story of Navy SEALs who are persecuted for simply doing their job. Makes me sad to think that the U.S. Navy would commit such a terrible betrayal.

Highly recommended

This is a book worth your time. The reader is awesome. The story will renew your love for our soldiers who put their lives on the line everyday to protect us. And you appreciate the lawyers who defended them when high-ups tried to scapegoat them for their own glory and ambitions.

A good book

My only complaint is the narrator reads the text like he is a B movie actor, a bit over dramatic!

Awesome

Obviously an Obama Administration failure and attack on the US military's finest. Gen Cleveland should have been fired.

ASTONISHING!

IM SHOCKED AND DUMBFOUND AT HOW OUR MEN WERE TREATED BY OUR OWN GOVT BASED ON AN IRRESPONSIBLE MP THAT HAD NO BUSINESS BEING IN A WAR ZONE LET ALONE BE TASKED WITH THE RESPONSIBILITY OF WATCHING A POW. LISTEN TO THIS AND PREPARE TO BE APPALLED!

Shocking

The way our Federal DOD treated the three seals was shocking. It was very unprofessional. Their actions not only made the three to not renew their contract, it affected other seals and marines. Having stated that I loved the book

shameful

What a shame and embarrassment that this book had to be written. As a veteran and former member of special operations I feel obligated to say that anyone that still believes Barack Obama was a good president is truly hopeless. The policies that he and his administration set in motion have undeniably divided our country and caused more harm to our armed forces than all previous presidents combined.

Heartbreaking insightful book

Thank you for the detailed heartbreaking facts provided in this book.
Having had two of 5 sons serve in the military- one in the Army (2 tours in Iraq) and at the same time, another son in the Navy on the USS George Washington, as a Nuclear Engineer, I can only imagine
the stress , the outrage and the relief, after all was said and done.

I’m sad for the time that was wasted in these young men’s lives, after the huge investment and effort they each have given of themselves to their personal goals to become a Navy Seal and the country.
I hope that they have found peace in each of their lives.

Perfidy of our Brass and POTUS

having served on subs during the Reagan years, it was hard to accept how much our military brass has gone from warriors to pencil necked, PC bureaucrats, useless political sycophants. Very sad. Equally infuriating was the level of complicity of our commander in Chicken, BHO. This country's security is now in the hands of weak men of questionable character. A real shooting war today, with any formidable enemy, will eat out lunch. Not because of the quality of our fighting men, but due to spineless leadership, or what passes for it today, (see Admiral Mullen).
