Marcus Luttrell tells the true and amzaing story of his lone survival after an ambush in Afghanistan in Lone Survivor: The Eyewitness Account of Operation Redwing and the Lost Heroes of SEAL Team 10. The story begins with Luttrell's detailed account of SEAL training. For me, it got a little tedious at times, but the story required that this part of his life, his training, be presented; so the reader could believe all that would happen in Afghanistan.
I absolutely loved this book. Written so you feel and see what is happening, the pace of Lone Survivor is breathtaking, and Luttrell is the voice of so many soldiers struggling not only to survive physically, but to also survive the bureaucracy of the government and trial by the media. His story had to be told.
