Lone Survivor: The Eyewitness Account of Operation Redwing and the Lost Heroes of Seal Team 10by Marcus Luttrell [958.104 Lut]
How many Taliban does it take to fight a four-man team of Navy SEALs? Just ask Marcus Luttrell. He and his 3 friends were on a recon mission in rural Afghanistan when they were discovered. The ensuing battle is heartwrenching and makes the reader want to stand up and fight alongside them. Lone Survivor starts out with a little background on the training that a Navy SEAL must endure to become a member of the team. These men are NOT quitters. As you read this book you feel proud to be an American, where our warriors don't give up; they would rather die defending our freedom. This amazing non-fiction title reads like a fictional account and -- not surprisingly -- Universal Pictures has optioned the rights to this fantastic action story for a movie to be released in 2009. Find out what happens to the four heroes out in the desert. Can they survive the wrath of the enemy forces? Will they take out the Taliban leader they were searching for? Are YOU tough enough to join their mission? (Please keep in mind that the language may be suitable for more mature readers. Marcus speaks like the sailor he is.) -- recommended by Julie H. - Walt Branch Library
