Description
Four US Navy SEALS departed one clear night in early July, 2005
for the mountainous Afghanistan-Pakistan border for a reconnaissance
mission. Their task was to document the activity of an al Qaeda leader
rumored to have a small army in a Taliban stronghold. Five days later,
only one of those Navy SEALS made it out alive.
This is the story of the only survivor of Operation Redwing, SEAL team
leader Marcus Luttrell, and the extraordinary firefight that led to the
largest loss of life in American Navy SEAL history. His squadmates
fought valiantly beside him until he was the only one left alive,
blasted by an RPG into a place where his pursuers could not find him.
Over the next four days, terribly injured and presumed dead, Luttrell
crawled for miles through the mountains and was taken in by sympathetic
villagers who risked their lives to keep him safe from surrounding
Taliban warriors.
A born and raised Texan, Marcus Luttrell takes us from the rigors of
SEAL training, where he and his fellow SEALs discovered what it took to
join the most elite of the American special forces, to a fight in the
desolate hills of Afghanistan for which they never could have been
prepared. His account of his squadmates' heroism and mutual support
renders an experience for which two of his squadmates were posthumously
awarded the Navy Cross for combat heroism that is both heartrending and
life-affirming. In this rich chronicle of courage and sacrifice, honor
and patriotism, Marcus Luttrell delivers a powerful narrative of modern
war.
Real deal savage, much respect! Enjoy:
