Navy SEAL Marcus Luttrell returned from his star-crossed
mission in Afghanistan with his bones shattered and his
heart broken. So many had given their lives to save him-and
he would have readily done the same for them. As he
recuperated, he wondered why he and others, from America's
founding to today, had been willing to sacrifice
everything-including themselves-for the sake of family,
nation, and freedom. In Service, we follow Marcus Luttrell to Iraq, where he
returns to the battlefield as a member of SEAL Team 5 to
help take on the most dangerous city in the world: Ramadi,
the capital of war-torn Al Anbar Province. There, in six
months of high-intensity urban combat, he would be part of
what has been called the greatest victory in the history of
U.S. Special Operations forces. We also return to
Afghanistan and Operation Redwing, where Luttrell offers
powerful new details about his miraculous rescue.
Throughout, he reflects on what it really means to take on a
higher calling, about the men he's seen lose their lives for
their country, and the legacy of those who came and bled before. A thrilling war story, Service is also a profoundly moving
tribute to the warrior brotherhood, to the belief that
nobody goes it alone, and no one will be left behind.
