Holy. Moly. I almost have no words. I have such a greater appreciation for the military and the Navy SEALS. There was a bit of explicit language, but that was to be expected and I thought it added authenticity, honestly. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who enjoys true stories of epic bravery.
Amazing story!! Well written, easy to read heartfelt story of courage and survival. Worth the read!
This memoir of navy seals In Afghanistan deserves higher praise from better men then me.
Story was incredible, the writing a little less so. If I heard the words “liberal media” another time I was going to throw the book out, but excellent story and interesting perspective
My boyfriend bought this book over two years ago for Valentine's Day. We had already seen the movie together and it had left me heartbroken.
I think that's why it took me so long to read the book. I didn't want to go thru all the details again.
I'm glad I finally did tho. This book was heartbreaking and insightful and made me cry more than I ever thought it would.

Another story of what the men of our armed forces are able to do when pushed to the ultimate limits.
It is heartbreaking to read about the realities that our own soldiers have to go through at times. But I do like hearing their stories so that I really know what it is like.
There were points in this narrative that felt a little preachy. I understand why he was trying to make that point but the ranting tangent wasn't they way to do it. Part of me felt like the story could have spoken for itself.

Although I found the beginning of the book difficult to get through because of the details of the training (and that I was reading two other books at the time as well as finishing a master's degree), but once I got about half way through the book, I became I fiend. I turned pages as if my reading could some how save those guys out on Operation Redwing. I appreciated Luttrell's blunt writing style and found myself understanding him deeply. I have nothing but respect and thankfulness for men and women like Luttrell.
I can't rate this book. Why? Because you can't put a rating on such a miraculous event. This book brought me to tears numerous times. Tears of sorrow and gratefulness. God truly blessed the USA when he made men like them.
I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in learning about the lives of those who serve in our armed forces. In this book, Marcus takes the reader on a wild ride starting at Navy SEAL's Bootcamp and through his life-altering experience during Operation Redwing. The things this man has experienced are far greater than anything someone his age should have to endure. This book made me laugh and cry. It definitely left me with a whole new appreciation for the sacrifices made by our military personnel and the great lengths to which they fight everyday to keep us safe at home.
