Lone Survivor: The Eyewitness Account of Operation Redwing and the Lost Heroes of Seal Team 10 by Marcus Luttrell

4.0

I've been reading so many heavy books that of course I need to be offsetting them with Harry Potter! This book was really good. A friend recommended it to me after I mentioned that I had been reading a lot of WWII books this summer. It was impressive to learn more about the SEALs, the Hell Week/training they go through to become the fighters they are, and a bit more insight from a soldier's view of the war in Afghanistan. The story is incredible. The situation they were in, how they fought, their determination, pride and commitment. They didn't give up. Didn't retreat. And it cost them their lives. Made me cry and be filled with gratitude for the many men and women that serve to protect my liberties.

I totally recommend it! Just know there is a crazy amount of swears. (Of all levels.)
