Leave No Man Behind: The Untold Story of the Rangers' Unrelenting Search for Marcus Luttrell, the Navy SEAL Lone Survivor in Afghanistan

I’ve read Lone Survivor, Operation, Red Wings, and now Leave No Man Behind. We are fortunate to live in the US and to have men like this in our communities.

This books is so well written, detailing a young Americans search for his meaning of life. As a military veteran who served overseas and in Desert Shield/Storm, I can appreciate the raw perspective and emotion you feel as you prepare for war. The comradery between friends working in unity to achieve the mission provides great insight to the greatest military rescue mission. Veterans will appreciate reading this book, and any Patriot who loves their country. Thank you Tony for your professional chiropractic healing on me, and your humbleness as we shared military stories.

Beautiful story of a group of rangers putting it all on the line to bring 20 heroes back home. People are never closer to anyone, than those they have fought with. Thank you for your service Tony. If you are ever in Shelby Township, Michigan I would like to buy you a beer and ask how are you doing. Marc R. Perry

Most of the book is spent from the author's point of view, the telling of his backstory and why exactly he became a Ranger. I think there half a chapter dedicated to the rescue of Luttrell and recovery of his SEAL recon teammates. It was still a really well-told life history. I'd recommend it.

Coming from someone (myself) that has experienced murder, death, starvation, extreme cold to near death, heat, filth, violence and well the shit storm of American poverty … I found him very weak but on the normal range of someone who grew up well off. He had a wonderful life but as I read on I saw him change. War opened his eyes to reality. The idiot public, to the uncaring citizens, to the why do I even do this for ppl that don’t care that hits us like a bus. The shock of how death and war doesn’t distinguish man, woman or child. How mentally you feel you will die from over exposure to the elements which isn’t uncommon … unlikely and uncomfortable never the less Most ppl reading this will think wow you delt with all that I couldn’t imagine! Then there’s the rest of us thinking yeah dude been there Been there a lot your preaching to the choir Not just as military but as an Ironworker I’ve met with a lot of the sane grueling experiences. Including facing death almost daily. Grouping up in extreme poverty. Just saying … seeing murder is pretty much yesterdays news and no one cares In our own country In our own cities and towns Americans are killing each other There’s a war going on in homes with parents agains children and children against parents and it’s just as gruesome if not more so So i suppose I’d like to finish by saying if you been there and experienced some of this you can relate. Somewhat triggering But keep reading because in the end. You’ll bond with the author like a brother. Thank you that is all

This book is a great companion to Lone Survivor. Gives a look at the efforts to follow up to recovery the lost SEAL team and Special Ops Helicopter crew.

I can't really pin it down, but knowing Bob Welch, look forward to his books, this well it was good, but I came away not really feeling good about this book and also not feeling bad about it. This is what I want to say, Read Author's note, it is the best I've have read, truthful, too the point. I'm not saying don't read the book, I'm just not in agreement with the reviews, and really feel the book is not complete. Mr. Brooks has written a book that his family would need to read, there are so many books on people's experience in war, this one just isn't one of the best. Bob Welch is very good at putting in words the story, but a story is only as good as the subject, and I feel they could have been more substance.

This is an important book that was written by a truly remarkable person who understands what it is to do what is right and also puts you where he has been even for just a moment. Thank you! For all you have done! I am the mother of a soldier who made it home and Thankful Everyday!

Das dienstliche Leben eines US Army Rangers im Afghanistan-Krieg. Spannend und interessant, wenn man die größeren Zusammenhänge ausklammert. Insgesamt aber lesenswert, wer sich für diese Epoche interessiert. Auch die "Lone Survivor" Thematik wird intensiv beschrieben.

Thoroughly thought provoking, informative and detailed account of the rescue and recovery of a downed Chinook and the crew/passengers plus the aftermath and effects of this mission on the individuals involved. An honourable and forthright individual who has most certainly remained above all, human !
