A SEAL's Memoir
This book starts by taking you inside the U.S. Navy
SEALs training
program in Coronado. You are with Marcus Luttrell throughout BUD/S and Hell Week. You fly with him and his
team
mates in a C-130 to the Hindu Kush. We then follow U.S. Navy SEAL Marcus Luttrell as he vividly recounts this 2005 maneuver he led against Al Qaeda operatives along Afghanistan's border with Pakistan. There are many details of the fierce mountain battle that led to the loss of Luttrell's three comrades and describes his own escape, capture, and rescue. The book does have courage, violence and strong language.

LONE SURVIVOR
IF THIS BOOK DOESN'T TOUCH YOUR EMOTIONS, THEN NOTHING WILL. THIS IS A STORY ABOUT THE ULTIMATE AMERICAN PATRIOTS. IT TELLS THE STORY OF WHAT THESE MEN MUST ENDURE IN ORDER TO BECOME A NAVY
SEAL
. THESE MEN WOULD GIVE THEIR LAST DROP OF BLOOD TO DEFEND OUR FREEDOM. THEY ARE THE MOST HIGHLY TRAINED SOLDIERS IN THE WORLD. YET, WITH ALL THIS TRAINING THEY MUST FOLLOW RULES OF ENGAGEMENT THAT HAVE BEEN WRITTEN BY PEOPLE THAT WILL NEVER BE PUT IN HARMS WAY. A CHOICE THAT A GROUP A SEALS MUST MAKE THAT GOES AGAINST ALL THAT THEY HAVE TRAINED FOR LEADS TO THE GREATEST LOSS OF SEAL LIFE IN ANY SEAL MISSION TO DATE. THIS IS A GREAT BOOK.

Powerful
This is the most powerful book I have read in a long time. Rates with books like Marine. It does bog down some in the parts about training unless you are interested in such and can relate it to personel training, but the sections on their mission is very difficult to put down.
American Warrior
You are made of sterner stuff than me if you can read Luttrell's eulogy to his fallen comrades without tearing up. I found the book to be fast paced, exciting and heartrending. Luttrell is a man of action, and his voice is simple, forceful and direct. I suspect some readers will object to Luttrell laying the blame for the death of his comrades at the feet of overly restrictive rules of engagement, which he says have been forced on the military by liberal media and lawyers.

A real page turner, a fine story of heroes
This is a first class story about real American heros. The story is so well written it is very hard to put down. There was not a time the story dragged. It tells very well what we should be thinking and saying about the enemies of the United States and not worry about offending those who hate us. The author went through a nightmarish adverture in Afghanistan and makes it very clear that his buddies who did not make it upheld the finest traditions of the Unites States Military. The author did also, but does not boast at all as to the really heroic and honorable conduct by him. I was very sad and proud of the descriptions of how the members of the
Seal
Team
fought very valiantly and how the author overcame the tremendous odds he faced in trying to survive long enough to be rescued by American troops.
