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 Average Rating:
 Rating:  - I couldn't put the book down"Lone Survivor" is an incredible account of what a Navy Seal goes through to get that trident pin and what they do to keep americans safe. I thought it was extremely well written. It was as if I was there on that mountain side with them. It really was a great read. I'm proud that there are people like Marcus out there keeping us safe. Rating:  - Great book, sour grapesThis is a fast paced thriller and an incredible true story. Gives great insight into military operations in Afghanistan. However, Petty Officer Luttrell's professed love of country apparently doesn't apply to the Bill of Rights in particular freedom of press. As far as blaming the Rules of Engagement, which by the way were not established soley by the "liberal" policitians, for his team's demise, perhaps, Marcus should consider the command who sent a team in harm's way outnumbered 35 to 1, SEAL ...

But it's the book, and not their actions, decisions, or anything else which is being reviewed - and that's the reason why it really can't receive anything but a very low mark. As a piece of writing, this book is really difficult to take seriously. I really wish the author had chosen to have his story told objectively, by an experienced military writer or war historian. It really reads like something out ... Read More Rating: - Unbelievably Fabulous and EnlighteningI have always been a fan of our military, our soldiers, our intelligence and our President George W Bush. But after reading Marcus's book, I am an absolute devotee of the US Navy SEALs. It instills an education as to the training and the dedication these men have to serve and protect our country, our freedoms and our future. Any liberal idiot who thinks that we have no reason to protect ourselves , especially against afghanie and pakastani and Syrian and Iraqi muslim radicalism , needs to read this ... Read More Rating: - Absolutely fantasticI bought the book on the recommendation of a friend - and once I began I simply couldn't put it down. It brought an in depth and complete first hand account of BUD/s training as well as his experiences and thoughts around his experience in the Hindu Kush, as well as life since there. I've never read such a riveting account of actual special ops action, as well as the tragic fate that some of these men suffered. Simply a fantastic book. A must read.
