It took me several attempts to really sit down and get started. Very moving. In the beginning, it is a little hard to follow Luttrell's constant switching topics. But, the SEAL training and actual event depiction is riveting. I wish I could remember the actual media reporting on this tragedy. My hope is that many, many people read this book and learn from it. The tragedies of war should not be second-guessed by persons not experiencing it first hand. This book also made me think about the plight of the Afghan people who do not support the Taliban--and how fortunate the American people are. For me, this was a thought-provoking and soul-searching book.
