gravelrider 's review for:

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

2.0

---

The portion of the book that actually talks about operation Redwing is gripping. The rest of the book about SEAL training and politics is pretty poor. There are better books about both of those topics. Start with chapter six.

Thanks to Luttrell for doing what you do. Unfortunately, his co-author and editors didn't do their jobs. There was enough material about the operation to fill an epic narration of war chaos and operational conflict from a professional soldiers point of view. Luttrell has an incredible story to tell but his literary support network let him down.
