"Lone Survivor" by Patrick Robinson and Marcus Luttrell
This past week I read a really good non fiction military book called Lon Survivor. A movie adaption came out in 2013, so you might recognize it. It is the story of Marcus Luttrell, who was the leader of Seal Team 10, and his journey on operation Redwing. It very well describes the action and emotional significance in war.
This is during the Iraq war, and many missions were organized to retaliate against September 11th, by killing the leaders of Al Qaeda. As I said this was a very well written book (better than most eyewitness accounts), and I recommend this for everyone comfortable with war stories. If you have seen the movie, you know that this is a very scary and unsettling story with lots of violence, so on second thought I only recommend this for kids in their second year of AS. We should honor these stories.
Next week I will read Mark Twain Short Stories.
