On September 29, 2006, Michael Monsoor and three SEAL snipers
watched vigilantly for enemy activity from their rooftop post in Ar
Ramadi, Iraq. When a grenade thrown from insurgents bounced off
Michael's chest, he could have escaped. Instead, he threw himself
onto the live grenade, shielding his fellow soldiers from the
immediate explosion. Michael died thirty minutes later, having made
the ultimate sacrifice. As George Monsoor (Michael's father) and
Rose Rea show us in Defend Us in Battle, Michael had prepared for
this selfless act all his life--a life that inspires us to have a
similar generosity of heart. This fast-paced, compelling biography
tells the true story of a quiet boy from California who achieved
his dream of becoming a Navy SEAL and saved numerous lives
throughout his deployment recounts how Michael's childhood of
asthma and being bullied made him a staunch defender of justice and
passionate about never quitting draws on interviews, military
documents, and eyewitness accounts to detail Michael's remarkable
military career and devotion to God and others is an ideal gift for
readers of military biographies such as American Sniper, the Last
Punisher,and Unbroken,as well as for anyone eager to remember that
this world still has heroes In addition to the Medal of Honor,
Michael received a Silver Star, a Bronze Star Medal, and the Purple
Heart for his years serving his country. But his greatest legacy is
in the hearts of those he inspired to live, and even die, for the
sake of brotherly love.
