Lone Survivor

"Nothing links person to person like the frequent passage from hand to hand of a good book."
This is a fascinating story, an eyewitness account of the 2005 mission by a US Navy SEAL team into the Pakistani mountains to kill an al Qaeda leader. The author is the only one of the four men on this mission who survived to tell the story. The story is gripping and heartbreaking. True accounts like this always have me turning over and over to the photos in the middle of the book. There is no mistaking that these are real people, the men and their grieving families. My son read it also. He's not a huge reader but this story really engaged him.
A wandering book -- the karma of literature!
