Lone Survivor by Marcus Luttrell


Lone survivor, by Marcus Luttrell with Patrick Robinson tells the riveting story of Marcus Luttrell and his team. His squad consisted of four members, Mathew Axelson, James Suh and Danny Dietz. And their fateful mission operation Redwing in Afghanistan. Were they were forced to make a decision that would ultimately get all but one of them killed, this is a inside story of a Navy SEAL operation that went bad because of their fear of the liberal media, ROE (rules of engagement) and going to jail back home. Also how these SEALs showed heroism and courage for there squad and country with there main goal to get home alive. The Navy SEALs are a small, elite special operations group that is a branch of the Navy these soldiers are the elite of the elite their training is the hardest in the world, and only a select few can join their ranks and become a SEAL. SEAL stands for sea land and air they are masters of every environment. The Navy SEAL motto is, “The only easy day was yesterday” (85). I thought this was a great book, but there are a few slow parts but they are short.
