Synopsis

Marcus Luttrell, author of the #1 bestseller Lone Survivor, share war stories about true American heroism from himself and other soldiers who bravely fought alongside him.
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.

In my opinion Marcus Luttrell is a hero for the simple reason that he volunteered put on America's uniform and put himself in between our country and the bad guys. Beyond that, he signed up for one of the most grueling trainings known to man BUD/S; was attacked by the Taliban and blown halfway down......more

Goodreads review by Gwen on April 13, 2017

Great followup to Lone Survivor. Marcus Luttrell recounts how he got back into the fight after Operation Redwing nearly killed him, and how he got out of it again once his body simply couldn't handle any more. His new mission: tell the stories of men like him who put it all on the line. Luttrell's g......more

Goodreads review by Taylor on December 03, 2024

Can I give this book six stars? Marcus Luttrell comes across as angry, even hateful at times, in his first book. Having read it, I can understand how he got to having such strong emotions. I suspect I would, too, given the workplace culture at the time and the devastating loss he experienced. In the......more

I was concerned that this book would come across as "leftovers" that didn't make it into the cut of the first book. Unfortunately although there were portions I really enjoyed, I did feel that was the case.......more
