While listening to this at work, there were points where I had to pause and choke back the tears that were starting to form. I’d like to say thank you to every person who has made such sacrifices in their life to give us the freedoms we seem to take for granted all to often.

Well written by a true American hero. Much respect for Marcus, as a well as every other man and woman that serves. THANK YOU! It's a powerful story that's often hard to hear in more ways than one. I've often felt that ROE's cost more lives than they save. It's a double edge sword, but I'd rather it cost some unfortunate "collateral" damage than cause any soldier to fear prison and die because of such fear. If the damn politicians want to start wars, maybe they should go fight them. If they're not willing to do that then they really need to shut the hell up and let our men and women do what they need to do.

INCREDIBLE! Much like everyone else I have seen the movie as well and it does not do the story justice. This gives an amazing detailed perspective on how much the men & women of our military sacrifice to keep us safe. Narrator did a wonderful job in making this story feel as if you're right there in the action. Thank you to all military and thank you Marcus for your devotion to the people.

By far my new favorite book.

I really enjoyed the book and it keeps you on the edge of your seat throughout. The author probably adds too much "political commentary" and he repeats himself quite a bit in regards to the "liberals." I wholeheartedly get his point about the media though, as they will create the story to sell their papers. I am flabbergasted by the amount of work and incredible sacrifice that goes into becoming a Navy Seal. Thanks to all that serve our country.

great and sad

So different from the movie. I like it better when it coincides better. God was with all our soldiers on Operation Red Wing!

inspiring,strength.

great book

Great narration and an even greater story.

I should have read the book rather than listen to it. The narrator’s reading is sooo corny. I do love Marcus; I’m a huge fan of his and We need him and his brothers in this world. His account is important for us humans to know, so that we never take for granted those that go to such effort, commitment, bravery, and hubris to counter evil and hate. I wish him the beat. I will do him the honor of reading the pages conventionally, and try to get the narrator’s acting out of my head.

The movie has nothing on this book!!! Amazing!!!

Wow!! They are incredible men so proud of them. I had my moments it was very hard for me to continue to read but I did and I cried. Thank you gentlemen. I enjoyed the narrator very much.

An inspiring book highlighting the harsh reality of war as well as the consequences of the American media caring more about headlines than about hard choices soldiers must make.

Great book from a great man. The narrator wasn't my favorite but the story is truly patriotic and hard lived. this book has touched my soul and I will never forget any part of this book.

Wow... Incredible account of many brave men and women that protect and serve our country. Many significant details of Marcus 's journey made this impossible to put down. Great book!

Very amazing book.Very inspirational and I would recommend for older ages. My middle schooler loved it. Narrator did amazing and made me felt like I was in the book. Totally recommend!!!!

It keeps you on the edge of your seat. I couldn't turn it off or put it down

Great book and well written and well read. Puts you right there with all of the seals. You feel all the pain and emotion

Amazing description of what it takes to be a Navy Seal. This book is something you will never forget. God's protection of Marcus is obvious throughout this ordeal in his life. Men like Marcus who protect and defend America are in my prayers.

What an incredibly man and story! These men will forever be in my heart, never forgotten.

Incredibly compelling and emotional story of the dedication, heroism, and courage of our great warriors. Even when you know how the story will end it is well worth the read and experience.

This is a fascinating book that blows the movie away! These men were and are heros!

I haven read a book cover to cover in many years. This book is by far the best and will probably read it again. Awesome read. A tear jerker, when his team died, to when he was rescued to when he FINALLY was able to see his mother. A MUST REAF

This is by far the greatest book I have ever read. It will immediately grab you and you will not want to stop! It's a must read!!

Fascinating story of true heroism inside the Navy SEAL Team 10. It had me captivated from the first minute.

I am not sure if i have ever cried that much to reading a book!! I will never forget this book or the people it's about. And above all I have a much greater respect for what we have all forgotten, our Freedom and those who help us keep it!! Thank you each and everyone of you! Thank You!

Amazing account of modern day warriors, these guys keep us safe on a daily basis. God, Family, Country

awesome, a book that I will never forget. This story will stick with your forever.

I couldn't put it down. I followed along the trials and tribulations of a journey thats unimaginable for any one man to endure. I cried, laughed and was gripped by what came next. I thoroughly enjoyed Lone Survivor and highly recommend. Thank you for your service and your story.

The book is great! But the narrator needs to bring it back a bit. It became hard to focus on the context and content of the book because he was reading it like Shakespeare or Soap Opera. All I could see was over dramatic flailing and wailing. Edgar Allen Poe's "Tell Tail Heart" comes to mind.

Great recap of the most heroic story I have ever heard. Being a former Navy brother I could not be more proud of the the SEAL teams. I will wear my Second Class PO with more pride thanks to these warriors. I just wish they never had to worry about killing innocent non-combatants . And go to jail for it. They would all be alive. That is the take away. EM2 Batiz USN
