Description
A firsthand account of survival and difficult choices during a secret military operation in Afghanistan. In June 2005, four US Navy SEALs embarked on a mission to capture or kill a notorious al Qaeda leader in a Taliban stronghold. Only one of those SEALs remained alive after less than twenty-four hours. This is the story of fire team leader Marcus Luttrell and his desperate battle for survival. Over the next four days, badly injured and presumed dead, Luttrell fought off six al Qaeda assassins before being taken in by a Pashtun tribe who risked everything to protect him from the encircling Taliban killers. This book takes readers through the brutal training of America's warrior elite and the relentless rites of passage required by the Navy SEALs, as well as the monstrous battle fought in the desolate peaks of Afghanistan.
