Lone Survivor
I have no idea how to write a review compelling enough for a book like this. It's the eyewitness account of Operation Redwing, a SEAL team insertion of four men into the mountains of Afghanistan. Marcus Luttrell was the sole survivor of the absolutely unbelievable battle against a smart, well-armed force operating in familiar terrain. In particular, it details the actions of
Lieutenant Michael Murphy, the nations most recent Medal of Honor recipient.
Sometimes, when you look around, and see stuff falling apart, and you wonder what happened to all the heroes. Well, they're out there now, dealing with the cold, the heat, the rain and the danger. There's hope after all..
Read this book -- I mean it. I don't care if you're into military history or not, it's the least you could do.
