Brianna Falco- Lone Survivor

I'm not quite finished with Lone Survivor, but this book is extremely interesting and something I would definitely recommend. The book is actually very informational and moving. I find it so interesting to learn about the U.S military and the hardships they have to get through. This book is sure to keep you intrigued the whole time and inform you of things you may not have ever known. Written by Marcus Luttrell( former Navy SEAL), makes the book much more real and interesting because you being told from a Seal's perspective. The setting is in Afghanistan on the Pakistani boarder, the Navy Seals were called in to take out an al Qaeda leader. These SEALs have gone through ruthless specialized training and have to fight like terrorists to beat terrorists. On their heroic mission, all were killed in less than 24 hours except for one, Marcus Luttrell. This was the biggest Navy SEAL loss in all of American history.
Honestly, this book has helped me envision what a Navy SEAL is all about, which is very inspiring. I have realized these people are some of the strongest, most courageous, and live for this country. I would love to watch the movie Lone Survivor as well as Black Hawk Down. There is a quote from the Dallas Morning News, " Every bit as thrilling as Black Hawk Down and unexpectedly, quite moving".
