About this ebook
In June 2005 four US Navy SEALs left their base in Afghanistan for the Pakistani border. Their mission was to capture or kill a notorious al-Qaeda leader known to be ensconced in a Taliban stronghold surrounded by a small but heavily armed force. Less than twenty-four hours later, only one of those Navy SEALs was alive.
This is the story of team leader Marcus Luttrell, the sole survivor of Operation Redwing. Blasted unconscious by a rocket grenade, blown over a cliff, but still armed and still breathing, Luttrell endured four desperate days fighting the al-Qaeda assassins sent to kill him, before finding unlikely sanctuary with a Pashtun tribe who risked everything to protect him from the circling Taliban killers.

It has been revealed that huge details of the book was fabricated to make luttrel seem heroic, luttrel the exploited Muhammad gulab for his movie premiers with promises to move him out of Afghanistan where gulab has faced death threats, his house has been bombed, his nephew shot through the head and he's got a Taliban bounty on his head. Please do night buy this book as the it has been written buy a liar

I had watched the movie, but the book gave me a clearer view of what was going on, scenery etc. He describes everything in a way that you don't even have to close your eyes to see the full picture. Heart-felt, absolutely stunning story and told in a way that gives it justice in the eyes of the civilian population.
