“File Under: Survivor Afghanistan”

• Rated 0 stars

“Petty Officer Marcus Luttrell's incredible first-hand account of what it takes to become a U.S. Navy SEAL, and subsequent deployments to Afghanistan, including a mission to hunt down an al Qaeda leader which ended in one of the SEAL's worst disasters in history. Well-written, awe-inspiring, and enlightening and frightening at the same time ... because instinct tells me there's much more to the incident than the author could disclose. The SEAL's principles of never quit, brotherhood and love-of-country should be an inspiration to all of us who benefit from their sacrifices. Hooyah!”

“This is one of those books you can't put down even tho you know the ending. You don't know tough until you read this book.”

“Friend Brent Bowman suggested this as continuing awareness of Afganistan - a balance to 'Three Cups of Tea' and 'Stones to Schools.' I like the rawness, the clarity of purpose, the refreshing black-and-white-mindset of the author and Navy SEAL. Starts fast. My spine has already straightened.”

“The LONE Survivor from Operation Red Wings, Marcus Luttrell takes you on his journey to become one America's elite Navy Seals. From his training in high School with an ex Navy Seal to BUD's training to his deployments, his accomplishments are many. His description of the failed mission and the heroic attempt of Lt. Murphy to call for aid was especially painful. His hiding under the nose of the Taliban while awaiting a rescue was fascinating. Great read and an excellent start to your discovery of who these Men are that are so willing to put themselves in harms way. ”

“Gruesome but engaging; a book you just can'™t put down. An adrenalin filled HOO-YAH true story of the lone SEAL survivor of Operation Redwing, which has the ominous distinction of being the largest casualty of US Special Force Operatives in the history of the military. It is a blow by blow account of the battle and his miraculous survival. There are some interesting insights into the war in Afghanistan and the Pashtuns custom of "Lokhay Warkawa".”
