Publisher Description: A Navy SEAL's highly-charged account of combat, his growth as a leader, his near fatal wounds, and his remarkable recovery--a wounded warrior whose strength and fortitude have made him a national symbol Decorated Navy SEAL Lieutenant Jason Redman served his country in Columbia, Peru, Afghanistan and Iraq, where he commanded mobility and assault forces. In western Iraq alone, he conducted over forty capture-kill missions with his men, successfully locating more than 120 Al Qaida insurgents. In September 2007, while leading a mission against a key senior Al Qaida commander, his team was ambushed and he was critically wounded by machine-gun fire at point blank range. |
