In June 2005 four Navy SEALs
fast-roped from a helicopter and embarked on a reconnaissance and
direct action mission along the mountainous Pakistan border of
Afghanistan. Only one member of the ill-fated mission lived.
This is the story of how that man survived and the heroism of his
fellow team members who died.
While reading the book you learn about the in-depth training that a
Navy SEAL undergoes to prepare him for dangerous missions, how SEAL
team-mates interact with and depend on one another, and how they fight
in combat.
You will also learn of the harsh environmental conditions that our
Soldiers and Sailors endure in combat in an inhospitable land far from
our shores. Luttrell's four-man team would fight a ferocious
battle, killing many of the enemy in the process, but would ultimately
lose. Luttrell just barely escaped alive. The story of his
rescue is amazing. |
