Four US Navy SEALS departed one clear night in early July, 2005 for
the mountainous Afghanistan-Pakistan border for a reconnaissance
mission. Their task was to document the activity of an al Qaeda
leader rumoured to have a small army in a Taliban stronghold. Five
days later, only one of those Navy SEALS made it out alive. This is
the story of the only survivor of Operation Redwing, SEAL team
leader Marcus Luttrell and the extraordinary firefight that led to
the largest loss of life in American Navy SEAL history. His
squadmates fought valiantly beside him until he was the only one
left alive, blasted by an RPG into a place where his pursuers could
not find him. Over the next four days, terribly injured and
presumed dead, Luttrell crawled for miles through the mountains and
was taken in by sympathetic villagers who risked their lives to
keep him safe from surrounding Taliban warriors. A born and raised
Texan, Marcus Luttrell takes us from the rigours of SEAL training,
where he and his fellow SEALs discovered what it took to join the
most elite of the American special forces, to a fight in the
desolate hills of Afghanistan for which they never could have been
prepared. His account of his squadmates' heroism and mutual support
renders an experience for which two of his squadmates were
posthumously awarded the Navy Cross for combat heroism that is both
heartrending and life-affirming. In this rich chronicle of courage
and sacrifice, honour and patriotism, Marcus Luttrell delivers a
powerful narrative of modern war.
