About this listen
For fans of the New York Times best sellers The Last Punisher and Lone Survivor, a heart-pounding military memoir from a former Army Ranger sniper and Special Operations weapon sergeant turned journalist about the incredible highs and devastating lows of his career.
Growing up in small New York towns, Jack Murphy knew he wanted to lead a life far from the ordinary - a life of adventure and valor. After the 9/11 attacks, he immediately enlisted in the Army, knowing this was his chance to live the life he desired and fight for a cause he staunchly supported. After making it through the rigorous Ranger Indoctrination Program, he graduated sniper school and was promptly deployed to Afghanistan, where his experiences went from ordinary to extraordinary.
In this gripping military memoir, Murphy recounts the multiple missions he underwent as a Ranger, a Special Forces weapons sergeant, and ultimately, a boots-on-the-ground journalist. From enemy ambushes, dodging explosives, crashing terrorists’ weddings, and landing helicopters in the streets of Mosul, Jack provides a hard-hitting glimpse of what combat is like in some of the world’s most dangerous, war-torn places. With tours of duty in two of the most decorated units of the armed forces, Murphy brings a unique perspective to the military genre as he reflects on his great triumphs and shattering failures both on and off the battlefield.
Later, Murphy turned his attention to breaking news within the military. His stories have taken him from Iraq to Switzerland, from Syria to South Korea. From crossing Middle Eastern borders in the dead of night to rolling into an IED-laden zone, Murphy’s stories are always a thrill a minute.
Murphy’s Law tells a story of intense bravery and sacrifice - both on and off the battlefield.

SAYING IT AS IT WAS
The reader spoke clearly and was easy to follow. A different view of the life of a soldier in a war zone is outlined . I was interested in the progression of the US forces on a modern battlefield to a, "checklist performance based reporting aimed at giving credibility to the writer whilst masking the reality". The concealing of sex offences by the military was also interesting. A good exposee'. Worth a listen.

Murphy
Good book having played in the same sand at the same time I found this a truly down to earth account of those times and places, the rest is a interesting story of Murphy’s post army life.

Anicdotal stories
Somewhat interesting. This is a narration of short life experience stories in the armed forces and life after in journalism. It’s gives a balanced view of events during operations and the absurd stupidity of American politics

Very well written and narrated, with a few good punchlines in the mix.
Tells his story really well, always love when people tell their own story, you get the true emotions from them.
