Both are excellent reads and well written. I read "Lone Survivor" by Marcus Luttrell first and then found out about this book. I would read this book first. I have a new found respect for our Navy Seals who show profound courage under extreme situations.I am a 58 year old Grandmother who has a loving nephew serving our wonderful country in Afghanistan.My love and prayers go out to ALL those who serve in all branches of our armed forces. GOD BLESS AMERICA.Susan Alfier Dulak
I bought this book after reading reviews about the top Navy SEALs books out there, this book was constantly mentioned as one of the top books. I would highly recommend this book, quick, easy read and you won't want to put it down. An interesting side note: Marcus Luttrell is in the book. It really gives you an insight into BUDS training and what these guys go through. I won't spoil anything, but when I came across his name in the book, it was kind of a "wow" moment hearing his name b/c the book was written long before Operation Red Wing. I felt connected to the guys in the book, which is a testament to excellent writing. This was one of the best books I ever read, period. You find yourself somewhat attached to the guys going through BUDS and you are anxious to see if they make it all the way through.
After I finished the book, I found myself re-reading the book again so I could read again about some of the guys who made it all through to the end and graduated with the class. A definite must read, and not only for those aspiring to become a Navy SEAL, I read this book for pure motivation and inspiration to try and be the best at daily life, and be "elite" in my own workouts. True SEAL fans know his name, he needs no introduction. Get this book, you'll love it.
Very Interesting book. It gives a new insight on what people do for this great country of ours.
Great book on what it take to become a Navy SEAL. Great book to see if this is what you truly want to do.
This book and the sequel are both fantastic. They are simply put the best books on the SEALs that I have found. Highly recommended.
