Book Reviews of the Lone Survivor: The Eyewitness Account of Operation Redwing and the Lost Heroes of SEAL Team 10
Customer Review: Good, if you share his views
Summary: 2 Stars
If you're interested in finding out about some aspects of our current military conflicts, and what it takes to be a SEAL then this book may be for you. Mr. Luttrell is a keen observer of people and places (probably a huge asset for his job.) He is also someone who has a giant ego (again, important asset for one of the most difficult jobs in the world.) He's part of a long tradition of brave men who have served, and this review is no comment on his character, but he gets sidetracked with personal comments that take away from some great moments. If you're fairly conservative, his political comments won't bother you. If you think enemies of the United States are inherently evil and not quite full-fledged humans, again, you won't be distracted. Based on the comments surrounding another negative review I think it's prudent to say that these comments are just a review of the book. I don't think the author would mind if one "Liberal" told another that this book contained partisan commentary that, in my humble opinion, turns a tribute of brave men into something else. As a book, I think it would have been more compelling with some humility and a degree of objectiveness. That aside, America is lucky to have people like Mr. Luttrell.
