Synopsis

The Last Punisher is a bold, no-holds-barred first-person account of the Iraq War. With wry humor and moving testimony, Kevin Lacz tells the story of his tour in Iraq with SEAL Team Three, the warrior elite of the Navy. This legendary unit, known as "The Punishers," included Chris Kyle (American Sniper), Mike Monsoor, Ryan Job, and Marc Lee. These brave men were instrumental in securing the key locations in the pivotal 2006 Battle of Ramadi, told with stunning detail in this book.

Minute by minute, Lacz relays the edge-of-your-seat details of his team's missions in Ramadi, offering a firsthand glimpse into the heated combat, extreme conditions, and harrowing experiences they faced every day. Through it all, Lacz and his teammates formed unbreakable bonds and never lost sight of the cause: protecting America with their fight.

The Last Punisher brings the listener into the life and mind of a SEAL, demonstrating the tough realities of war. At the same time, Lacz shares how these experiences made him a better man and how proud he is of his contributions to one of this country's most difficult military campaigns.

3.5 stars Another compelling look into the reality of Navy SEALS. After the death of Chris Kyle, I think attention to this group became even more prevalent. And I was interested in their stories and missions. The truth of the story in Ramadi kept me reading into the late night hours. It's a bit terri......more

Goodreads review by Chris on May 07, 2017

This is simply the best Iraq war book I've read. It is genuine and authentic, written in a warriors voice - full of the dark humor, slang and vulgarity of the SEAL brotherhood.
