Recently I finished reading Lone Survivor: The Eyewitness Account of Operation Redwing and the Lost Heroes of Seal Team 10, by Marcus Luttrell with Patrick Robinson. What an amazing story! I think it is important for every American to read this book.
First of all, I find it very encouraging that there are great men like Marcus Luttrell in the world. He tells his story of the incredible journey that he took to become a Navy SEAL which would lead to him being sent overseas to fight in the Wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. He describes various missions his SEAL teams went on. One such mission, Operation Redwing, is one that went terribly wrong. A team of Marcus and three of his close SEAL friends were sent to take down one of the Taliban's biggest leaders. When reading about Operation Redwing, there is no way you could put the book down and your American pride will reach new heights. The way Marcus describes the bravery and selfless, remarkable acts of his three friends, I must say tears were brought to my eyes.
And then there was Marcus himself, who after the operation failed, found himself badly hurt and all alone with enemy Taliban fighters trying to hunt him down. His story of survival which includes him using every, and I mean EVERY ounce of energy he had inside of him is one you will never forget. It is truely inspiring to read about his fight for survival so that he could go back home and tell the amazing story.
