====Lone Survivor is a great book. It is a true story about the adventures of a team of four Navy SEALs, the military’s most elite force of soldiers, through the Hindu Kush as they search for a Taliban leader. After less than twenty-four hours, only one SEAL is still alive. Just to show how specially trained they are, I’ll go ahead and tell you the four of them killed one hundred and eighty Taliban warriors in one fight. Long story short, the book is about the one SEAL who survived on his own for a week or two before he was rescued and became a national hero. ==== Reviewed by Jack E.
