Story4.5 out of 5 stars 1,921
Southern Afghanistan was slipping away. That was clear to then-Captain Rusty Bradley as he began his third tour of duty there in 2006. The Taliban and their allies were infiltrating everywhere, poised to reclaim Kandahar Province, their strategically vital onetime capital. To stop them, the NATO coalition launched Operation Medusa, the largest offensive in its history. The battlefield was the Panjwayi Valley, a densely packed warren of walled compounds that doubled neatly as enemy bunkers.

At 24 years of age, U.S. Army Ranger Sean Parnell was named commander of a forty-man elite infantry platoon - a unit that came to be known as the Outlaws - and was tasked with rooting out Pakistan-based insurgents from a mountain valley along Afghanistan's eastern frontier. Parnell and his men assumed they would be facing a ragtag bunch of civilians, but in May 2006 what started out as a routine patrol through the lower mountains of the Hindu Kush became a brutal ambush.

The Pentagon has officially confirmed more than 150 of Kyles kills (the previous American record was 109), but it has declined to verify the astonishing total number for this book. Iraqi insurgents feared Kyle so much they named him al-Shaitan ("the devil") and placed a bounty on his head.

When Admiral William Halsey selected Destroyer Squadron 21 to lead his victorious ships into Tokyo Bay to accept the Japanese surrender, it was the most battle-hardened US naval squadron of the war. But it was not the squadron of ships that had accumulated such an inspiring résumé; it was the people serving aboard them. Through diaries, personal interviews with survivors, and letters written to and by the crews during the war, preeminent historian of the Pacific theater John Wukovits brings to life the human story of the squadron and its men.

So many had given their lives to save him-and he would have readily done the same for them.

Publisher's Summary

Good story, poorly read
I enjoyed the story but the narrator was painful. It was like he was surprised by what word came next and where pauses and emphasis should be placed. As an example "... He was hit by a stray round" was read like "... He was hit by a stray... round". It could have been better but doesn't ruin the story.

Narrator sounded like the dog from the movie "UP"
What did you love best about The Last Punisher?
True life accounts of events. Very well written, the "narrator" really took away from the overall story by making it harder to even listen.
What did you like best about this story?
EVERYTHING!
How could the performance have been better?
Hire a new Narrator
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
The Brotherhood
Any additional comments?
Vet your narrators. They should at least have a 3rd grade reading level.

Great Story Ruined
This is a truly great account of some of the most talented SeALs our country has ever produced. Unfortunately it is a difficult listen as the narrator has a very staccato pace that is brutal to listen to. He can not seem to read one sentence without having to stop and take a break. Save your money and buy the book.

Great book, the narrator was just OK.
The story was great, and for someone who was in Ramadi during the same time frame it was pretty cool to hear about things you lived through from a different perspective!
The narrator on the other hand was decent, except for his mis-pronunciation of military terms, phrases, and acronyms drove me crazy at times. But overall I'd recommend this book!

I do not know how I made it through the whole book this guy's voice is just not very appealing I apologize and do not mean to be insulting but I just cannot stand his voice reading the book. the book is great but his voice just kind of annoys me out it almost feels like my wife is yelling at me when I get home from work. he just sounds like he wants to be a total badass. I'm sorry but I could barely barely make it to the book other than that the story is great

narrator sucks
it's a good story, but like anything else it's not what you say, but how you say it. the way he reads the story makes a good story boring and hard to follow. the first half of the book his tone goes from a loud and clear voice, then the last word or two of each sentence his voice drops low like a movie preview. then he switched to a different reading style and starts making unnecessary pauses and tone switches making it sound stupid. for example when he's talking about doc Crispen, "I got an adjustment on my back a time (pause and change of tone) or two (pause then lower tone) from Crispen..." the same guy narrated "the red circle" by Brandon Webb, also a good book ruined by bad narration. his voice in it's self is fine, but the style he does it makes it feel like I'm listening to a $10 budget show on public Access tv as he's reading que cards written by a 3rd grader. they should have used the guy from American sniper, or line survivor to narrate. once I got past the voice it's a great story.
