Lone Survivor The Eyewitness Account of Operation Redwing and the Lost Heroes of SEAL Team 10 Marcus Luttrell Patrick Robinson Books

This book was extremely well written. Luttrell did an amazing job at describing the environment and the people involved in the "story." It is a gut-wrenching and pivoting tale of the forging of one Patriot into a SEAL, and an account of the many professional Operators whom lost their lives that one fateful day defending this nation. If you are into war, history, strategy, and combat-related readings, I highly recommend Lone Survivor. It should be recommended reading for students at public/private educational institutions since it presents a modern first-hand perspective on war and the respect that our Armed Forces have earned and deserve. It is certainly more useful than drab history text books that cover entire wars/conflicts in a few paragraphs.

Luttrell does not interrupt the rhythm with in-depth details ad nauseam ala Tom Clancy, but he does provide enough information so that the reader isn't completely lost. For example, he describes how he added 3 extra magazines to his standard loadout, his Oakley Assault Boots, the Mk 12 Mod 0 rifle with PEQ-4 and sound suppressor, and the position of the Taliban as his team is regrouping down the mountainside. A Clancy novel would have filled no less than 5 chapters detailing the luster of the moly-dry film coating on the Mk 12 receivers, the durometer of the Oakley Assault boot soles, etc... The book was also published before Lt. Mike Murphy was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor.

Lone Survivor The Eyewitness Account of Operation Redwing and the Lost Heroes of SEAL Team 10 Marcus Luttrell Patrick Robinson Books Reviews

Couldn’t put this book down. As usual the book is much, much better than the movie. Actually, the movie follows along with the books concepts and what Marcus went through but each event was different in the book compared to the movie.

Also, there are a lot of lies out there about how many Taliban they faced. You have these disgusting journalist that want to put our military down and lie. According to eye witness accounts and the military records, Mr. Latrell and his team faced 150 to 200 Taliban. They killed over 100 of the Taliban. The lame and poor excuse for journalist say 32 Taliban and some have even go as far as to say that not even 100 could live in that area; wrong! The 32 number comes from how many Taliban were killed when they rescued Marcus.

Read this book because the movie, is great, but doesn’t do the book justice.
This book was a tremendous story, and I highly recommend it. The horror this young man, and his buddies went through is hard to fathom. What our military put these young men through is hard for any common person to comprehend. It was amazing that he lived. He lost three of his best friends, and barely lived to tell the story. This book is a must read because for one thing, the movie that was made about his ordeal is not completely accurate. The story didn't need to be embellished, but the movie makers thought their vision of what happened was better than that of Marcus Luttrell, and they were very wrong. By reading the book, I knew what actually happened, and it was more intriguing than what the movie portrayed. Some people will never read the book so I guess the movie will give them some idea what it was like, but the book tells the real truth. Marcus' story telling ability kept me riveted to my seat, and brought tears to my eyes to hear what terrible things these young men had to endure. I hope that lots of people will read this book written by a remarkable young soldier.
Fascinating book! Puts us into the minds of soldiers and the brotherhood they adhere to in order to survive and in a sense are addicted. The alpha males and their domain - and I am very grateful for them and their sacrifice. (Spoiler alert) Marcus blames the 'liberal' media for making them decide to let the goat herders go instead of killing them. Ultimately it was the goat herders' release that led the enemy to their doorstep. My problem with this whole 'idea' was why didn't they just gag them and leave them on the hill - and then get out? The mission had been compromised. Hence this is my problem with the guy's premise that it's somehow the liberal media's fault that his buddies got killed? Really? My one complaint is the bashing of 'lefties' 'liberals' and the 'media.' I get the resentment, but I don't get the continual need for his book to go after the 'left' They aren't the enemy - nor is the right. . We are Americans at heart, liberal or right or whatever. Our tenets of freedom of press means we all have the right to speak our mind and our America is everyone's America. This great nation is 'great' because we adhere to a moral ground on certain things and that's important and it's important for the press to look for the stories of the disadvantaged etc. and yes, maybe what they see as abusive power by the military and no we haven't put the Navy Seals into jail for killing Osama Bin Laden - (and yes we had a 'liberal 'President in charge when it happened). The trained soldiers are trained to go into 'harms' way - the press is not - but they are the eyes we need to see the truth. As a navy seal, I would expect you to voice an opinion which was more balanced. I am a patriot too, because I know what our Constitution says - once we sink to the enemies level of 'hatred' and disregard for life - we loose the moral battle. Again, absolutely no disrespect to our soldiers in uniform - I support them and will continue to give money to the veterans groups I support - but PLEASE stop the liberal bashing. In fact, we become our own worst enemies when we make our fellow American's our enemies. I'm so tired of it.
