Lone Survivor by Marcus Luttrell, Patrick Robinson (2008, Paperback, Reprint)

Lone Survivor is an amazing first hand account of the tragic misfortune of this team of Navy SEALs. You get to know & love each SEAL that bravely gave his life during a disgustingly one-sided battle with the Taliban in Afghanistan during "operation redwing". This is written by the only surviving SEAL that made it through this battle, against impossible odds. This book will leave you pissed off at the U.S. bleeding heart politicians that drive the fear of prosecution into our trained Navy SEAL's and all U.S. Soldiers, ultimately making them second guess themselves and getting them killed. Nicely written with much info on the brutal training that goes into being a SEAL. It will bring a tear to your eye!!

This is a GREAT book. Very informative about the training trhe Seals go through and their trials and accompliments in Afganistan. I read it last year and bought this book for a friend of mine who just returned from Iraq.

excellent book about the stupid rules of engagement our soldiers are faced with tryin to win a war but having to ask if they can shoot back, great book

This was truly a book that was hard to put down. It held your interest beginning to end. It is such an amazing, touching true account of what it's really like for a SEAL's dangerous mission -- not how our many of our media portrays or downplays what really happens.

My husband and I both read this book and feel very blessed to have brave, couragous men such as this devoting their all to keep us safe and protect our freedoms in this country.

We bought this book after seeing him interviewed on Fox news channel (FNC). We are loaning it, with our highest recommendation, to other upstanding individuals who would appreciate his story and his service.

Living in San Diego County in California, I only wish we could have the opportunity to meet this fine person someday and thank him ourselves. It is truly a miracle he survived his Afganistan experience as his book described. God bless Marcus and keep he and his wonderful, loving family safe from any further harm -- physical or mental anguish.

Riveting,very sad,gripping true story of an overwhelmed,[wondering what 2 more SEALS added to the fight wouldve resulted in?]squad of 4 Seals morally[according to war rules made up by stupid civilian bleeding friggin hearts] trapped into revealing their position..going up against a ruthless army of 150- 200 taliban mountain-goat/monkeys with absolutely no consciences in their heads or hearts of who would be their targets...[men,women or children].
This is more of a story about our governments inability to address the enemy with more effectiveness,and better tactics and or strategies..and the weak willed response that make up the Democrats...
They really are blame for everything that happened to the USA..The unions are made up of Democratic wusses who have reaped what they sowed...They need to back the Military, especially..when we got attacked..I hope the Union go belly up....because they are the worst hypocrits ever[workers rights?? Only if you dont get hurt on the job!!] GO USA!!!GO NAVY!!! GOD BLESS OUR MILITARY!! [They take care of their own]

I could NOT put this book down. This book should be required reading for every American and especially those that think they are an American. I first heard about this book on the Glenn Beck show and ordered it. A few days after I ordered the book and had not received yet it Marcus Luttrell was on Glenn Beck because his dog was murdered. The dog was given to him for therapy and to help him recover from his injuries while protecting our country. Read this book and find out why he didn't bring these "alleged" murderers down when he had the chance. I would be honored to have a chance to meet Marcus Luttrell. Read the book! These people are real. There's no Hollywood here. READ THE BOOK!!!! Sylvi

WOW!!! What an experience. I heard the story Marcus Lutrell had to tell on MPR one morning... Then I read his account.

First of all this is a good book if you want to understand Navy Seals. Second this is a good seller. Excellent service!

The book arrived in excellent condition. It is a gift for my son. The book was packaged well and arrived promptly. Thank you.

I have a new found respect for the people in our armed forces and this book puts the life we have here in the United States in perspective. I can't think of anything more difficult than what these guys go through for our country.

I bid on this book, won the auction but never received it. The seller is no longer a registered user on e-Bay. I contacted him for a refund, but there was no response. I wasted $10.06 on a book that was recommended by my uncle, a WWII veteran, and was looking forward to reading the book so we could discuss it together. So much for that...

Great book love the realism. I was told about the book by a friend who enjoyed it. It's real and honest.

Marcuss Luttrel is a man of valor and so forth his team of Navy Seals. This book describes the committment and punishment these brave men put themselves through only to face our worlds most evil adversaries and to keep everyone at home safe. Everybody should pick up this book to acknowledge the hardships and sacrifices these men give up to preserve our freedoms and way of life. Loved the book and will read over and over when I am in need of some inspiration. Thank you Marcus, you are an inspiration my friend and I will tell my children about you and your teams sacrifices. There lives and efforts will never be forgotten and neither will yours. Thank you sir.

Lone Survivor is an invigorating, heartbreaking and ultimatly triumphet tale of the Brave stand of 4 United States Navy SEALs against the overwhelming odds of the Low class and brutal Taliban/Jihadist radicals in The burtal and Lawless lands of Afghanastan.
This books describes the Arthurs Journey from Patriotic American/Texan To the top of the elite as A U.S Navy SEAL to the Fateful events that led up to the moments when true heros arise to defend our great nation at any cost!

Thank you Mr. Luttrell for your service and your sacrifice!

READ THIS BOOK AT ANY COST!!!

This book gave me a real insight into the training and the brotherhood of the Seals. I have allways had much respect for the military but this not only gave me a new higher respect but also adjusted my perspective on what it means to be an American. These men are the deffinition on the word HERO.

At first I thought the story was slow and took forever to get to the actual incident I had heard about that this book was written about. So I continued with an open mind and became just as wrapped up in the explanation of what it takes to become part of this elite fighting force as I was in the incident. The story line doesn't dissapoint in the action department and I had to keep reminding myself that this was a real life event and not a Hollywood fantasy.

It was also nice to have a different perspective on what is going on over in the middle east. The Media doesn't present things so that the public can get a real sense of the war and who the enemy is and what they are capable of. Marcus gives an up front and in your face view of it that the media coverage doesn't.

I would recommend this book to everyone. Marcus Luttrell and all of the Navy Seals are true heros in my book, and in this one.

This is the only first-person account of a military mission in Afghanistan that I've read...a friend suggested that I read it because I wanted to know more about what Navy SEALS do in action. This is a solid first-hand account of a terrible mission. Readers will get a page-turner with this book. It's not particularly well-written, in my opinion, but it conveys the story- which is its point. I think any person interested in the U.S. military or our war in the Middle East would get something out of this book. It is pretty dark, but honest (and very patriotic).

The book was in great condition, like new. The book was delivered on time. The only thing I would change is if it was shipped sooner.
