Publisher's Summary

In June 2005, four U.S. Navy SEALs left their base in Afghanistan for the Pakistani border. Their mission was to capture or kill a notorious al Qaeda leader. Less then 24 hours later, only one of those SEALs remained alive.

This is the story of team leader Marcus Luttrell, the sole survivor of Operation Redwing and the desperate battle that led to the largest loss of life in Navy SEAL history. More than anything, this is the story of how his teammates stood beside him until he was the last one left - blasted unconscious by a rocket grenade, blown over a cliff, but still armed and breathing.

Over the next four days, badly injured and presumed dead, Luttrell fought off six al Qaeda assassins who were sent to finish him, then crawled for seven miles through the mountains before he was taken in by a Pashtun tribe that risked everything to protect him from the Taliban.

In this moving chronicle of courage, Marcus Luttrell offers one of the most powerful narratives ever written about modern warfare.

Unstoppable Courage

Amazing account of the toughest warriors displaying unbelievable courage, and not giving up until they breathed their last. Those Pashtun people in this story amaze me too, they also display a care and selflessness we can all take account of!

Incredible

What an amazing and truly heroic recount. Some of the bravest men and this is a true testament to the sacrifice and the conditions they go to war in.

Awesome.

Straight to the battle. Only a little bit of lead in about Marcus's beginnings then straight to the battle. Did not glam it up.
