Lone Survivor: The Eyewitness Account of Operation Redwing and the Lost Heroes of SEAL Team 10

Very inspirational story about commitment, duty and sacrifice. Although the book was long at certain points, I could not put it down. This is a story about true heroes. If you are inspired by the will to survive, this book is for you.

This is by far one of the best books I've ever read. The sheer bravery of these elite warriors who fight for our country leaves me in aww. What they go through and en dour to be a Navy SEAL is beyond my ability and comprehension. It also shows there is good in this world when you least expect it. I was absolutely stunned by the help Marcus received, it made me close my eyes and think no matter how different we all are in this world, we are all linked by goodness and kindness of the heart if we choose it.

From a book standpoint I thought the story was incredible. I thought it was well written and I really enjoyed reading it from Marcus's first hand perspective. His slight humor at times hit home to me and his descriptions of certain things hit home as well and brought the story to your hands.

I am forever honored by the commitment of Marcus and his fallen brothers. I'll never forget this story, and when times are tough I find myself thinking of him and his brothers in arms. God Bless them all and God Bless the U.S.A.

This book is told in Marcus Luttrell's first person voice, and has three parts to the story: 1) SEAL training and its methods to select people only of awesome determination and skill, 2) a firefight gone wrong in the mountains of Afghanistan, and 3) Marcus' hiding and eventual rescue with help from the Afghan people. Marcus' view and attitude about the Liberal Media is also covered through out. He make a strong moral case: don't start war and commit people's lives unless you are prepared to use all means available to win...anything less is immoral if I can use that and war in same statement

This is an incredible story of human determination. Besides covering the training of a SEAL, this book also helps us understand a foe we don't really understand

This book needed to be written. Those brave men needed their story told, so the rest of us can know why they died. They died bravely, and should be held in "high honor." The SEALS have a right to be arrogant, for they go through one of the most brutal training programs known to man, especially if over 100 good men quit the program. They pay for it.

Good book, Great Story.

Wow, this book was quite revealing in both SEAL training and discipline and what happened on that fateful "Redwing" mission. I heard about the Medal of Honor being given to Lt Murphy posthumously but did not know the details of why. This book takes you right to the front line and gets you as close as possible to what these guys experienced.

My hat goes off to all of them. Thank you for your service!
