After watching the movie I decided to read the book. I am so glad that I did. It was wonderfully well written and very informative. Another reviewer said it was all about Marcus Luttrell patting himself on the back. I disagree. The beginning of the book was about becoming a Navy SEAL, no small accomplishment. Military personnel should demonstrate a pride in theirselves and in our country., and their fellow service members. Look at what the drop out rate for every SEAL class is, he should be proud.The part about the Red Wings mission showed just how much vulnerability, strength of character and mind,courage, and love of self, country, and fellow team members our Special Forces and military men/ women have to have. He lost 4 very good friends, including his best friend, on that mountain and feels that loss every day. He makes sure that we know just how much he is still effected by this. I am very glad that I chose to read this book.
