Extreme Courage

This is a remarkable book on several levels. Written in the first person, this is the story of Marcus Luttrell, Navy
SEAL, and the Afghanistan mission that should have killed him.

Navy SEALS have a reputation of being the toughest, best trained, and most fearsome of fighting men anywhere in the world. This book explains how that reputation comes about, and how it is exemplified. It is a true, first person account of both the training and the mission that Marcus endured and how the aftermath effected him. In all aspects it is both fascinating and at times almost unbelievable.

The book is also a strong indictment of the liberal press in America and how they drive a harmful agenda that puts American soldiers at risk in any battle anywhere. There is a very strong Texas fighting spirit portrayed within the pages of this book, a mindset that is foreign to most of us, yet is the backbone of American patriotism. No matter where you stand on the US involvement in foreign wars, you will be rooting for Marcus and be astounded at the miraculous way in which he survived.
