Amazing story! Why is this not a movie. This man is a true American hero! It is so sad what happened to the other Seals and the rescue team. Every Congressman and media member should read this to learn how their meddling into military tactics puts our troops into deadly situations they cannot always protect themselves in.

Here's what I wrote in 2011 about this read: "That was a wow and a source of night dreams for at least two night now. Recommended by DLA and finally read. Hugely insightful into the SEALS and overall military experience / mindset. The horror that warrior Luttrell experienced in Operation Redwing was his defining life event; he'll probably never sleep full a night ever again."

Excellent book from the "Lone Survivor" Marcus Luttrell. Candidly told from going through BUDS & deployments and everything in between. In depth look at a lot of operations and what happened. Infused with his faith in God, Marcus's story gives details on major missions in Iraq & Afghanistan, honors the fallen, and honors SEAL wives.
