Kevin T. Collins
Four US Navy SEALS departed one clear night in early July 2005 for the mountainous Afghanistan-Pakistan border for a reconnaissance mission. Their task was to document the activity of an al Qaeda leader rumored to have a small army in a Taliban stronghold. Five days later, only one of those Navy SEALS made it out alive.
This is the story of the only survivor of Operation Redwing, SEAL team leader Marcus Luttrell, and the extraordinary firefight that led to the largest loss of life in American Navy SEAL history. His squadmates fought valiantly beside him until he was the only one left alive, blasted by an RPG into a place where his pursuers could not find him. Over the next four days, terribly injured and presumed dead, Luttrell crawled for miles through the mountains and was taken in by sympathetic villagers who risked their lives to keep him safe from surrounding Taliban warriors.
A born and raised Texan, Marcus Luttrell takes us from the rigors of SEAL training, where he and his fellow SEALs discovered what it took to join the most elite of the American special forces, to a fight in the desolate hills of Afghanistan for which they never could have been prepared. His account of his squadmates' heroism and mutual support renders an experience for which two of his squadmates were posthumously awarded the Navy Cross for combat heroism that is both heartrending and life-affirming. In this rich chronicle of courage and sacrifice, honor and patriotism, Marcus Luttrell delivers a powerful narrative of modern war.

What a remarkable story. This ranks right up there with Unbroken. Everyone should read this book to fully appreciate the sacrifices and hard work our Navy Seals are doing. There is some patriotic ranting that you will have to put up with, buy it doesn't diminish the overall story.Must Listen

Would you listen to Lone Survivor again? Why?
I would listen to the chapters describing the workouts because it encouraged me to workout harder.Would you recommend Lone Survivor to your friends? Why or why not?
Yes, because its a great first-person tale of extraordinary circumstances. Its also very entertaining.What does Kevin Collins bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Nuance and character. He is very dramatic.Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No. Its intense and upsetting at times.Any additional comments?
Marcus seems confused about the role of the media and the mindset of liberals. Instead of blaming the "liberal media," people should take responsibility for their own actions. I think Navy Seals should blame their training and over reliance on religion for their "mistake" on that hill and not the "liberal media."Unfortunately, even, Navy Seals need rules. Every job has rules to follow. So, Navy Seals need to grow up and accept the fact that everyone has rules to follow.
Furthermore, this book perpetuates some myths about 911. If you want to read a book about the events that lead up to 911, get The Looming Tower.

One of of the things about this book that hit me hard was my personal thoughts and beliefs on some of the frightening challenges presented to our nation's safety were truly validated and brought out crystal clear in this book. When the liberals, both in government and the media were putting our nations brave and best on "trial for murder" I was sickened. To see how this affected Marcus and his team...I can't find the words to describe how infuriating it is.
Thank you Marcus for your service to our country and for keeping us all safe and free, regardless of those who, without a clue about your reality, tried to put you on trial.
