Lone survivor

My second quarter book was Lone Survivor by Marcus Luttrell.  This book was about four U.S Navy SEALs that had to go to the border mountains of Pakistan.  They had too kill the leader of al Qaeda.  One out of the four SEALs stood out the most to me which was Michael Murphy.  He was the Lieutenante.  He was a great leader, he overcame challenges, obsticals, dangers from the enemies and was an overall good guy and friend.  He knew what to do when something went south and was able to keep his mind steady.  He was awarded an award that wasnt given since the vietnam war which was the U.S Military's highest decoration, the medal of honor for his bravery and actions in the war against Afghanistan.  He risked his life to save his team but only 1 made it out of the four.  As he called the base to give his location so that they would find them, he was getting shot at while calling the base.  He saved his teamates life because they were getting ambushed and he drew fire on himself.  Even though he wasnt the main guy in this story he stood out the most for his actions.

  1. I had seen this movie and it was very tense. I would like to read this book to see if it had the same affect on me. The leader really helped move the story forward which is needed in this type of story.
